JoCo Flags For Heroes is BACK for 2025!

May is…Youth Service Month

At Rotary, we’re all about helping the next generation step into leadership roles. We offer fun programs where young people can grow their skills, learn more about the world, and understand the power of giving back. Here are the programs we have for youth:

• Interact Clubs

  These clubs are for teens between 12 and 18. It’s a chance for them to team up, work on community projects, and build leadership skills while learning more about global issues. The Clayton Rotary Club sponsors an Interact Club at Clayton High School.

• Rotary Youth Leadership Academy (RYLA)

  RYLA is all about helping young people grow into confident leaders. Whether it’s a one-day event or a week-long camp, participants get hands-on experience, connect with peers, and have a great time learning. The Clayton Rotary Club sponsored five Interact Club students at Clayton High School to attend RYLA this year at our District’s weekend leadership camp.

• Rotary Youth Exchange

  This program gives teens (ages 15–19) the chance to study abroad, dive into a new culture, pick up a new language, and make lifelong memories. It’s all about promoting global understanding, one student at a time.
