Rotary hosts Youth Leadership Conference
The Lewes-Rehoboth Rotary Club sponsored eight students from Sussex Tech High School to participate in the annual Rotary Youth Leadership Awards conference at the Carousel Hotel in Ocean City, Md., Feb. 17-21.
The students were joined by more than 110 others from all over Rotary’s District 7630, which covers the eastern shores of Delaware and Maryland. The all-expenses-paid long weekend offered students inspirational steadiers and the opportunity to make lifelong friends through fellowship activities including discussions of ethical and social issues, communication and conflict resolution skills, business ethics, and how to plan and manage a project.
The goal of conference organizers is for the students to return to their schools and communities motivated to take on other leadership roles and find additional ways to serve. Rotary is a global network of 1.2 million neighbors, friends, leaders and problem-solvers who come together to make positive, lasting change in communities at home and abroad. The Lewes-Rehoboth Rotary Club is one of more than 35,000 worldwide.
