Youth Services

Interact Clubs help students develop leadership skills while making a difference in their schools and communities.
RYLA is a leadership development program for young people who want to learn new skills, build their confidence, and have fun. Events range from one-day seminars to weeklong camps.
Rotary Youth Exchange give students opportunities to learn a new language, discover another culture, and become global citizens. Exchanges for students are sponsored by Rotary clubs in more than 100 countries as they live with local host families.
4 Way Speech Contest is an opportunity for students to develop their public speaking and leadership skills while increasing awareness of Rotary in our communities.
Karen Sbrollini Heilman & Service Above Self Scholarships are awarded to students applicants who have demonstrated true service above self and leadership attributes. Club scholarships are funded through donations in honor of Karen S. Heilman. Karen was the wife of a club member who passed away to cancer a few years ago. One of the local high schools also supports the club’s scholarship fund with the annual Play 4 Karen Basketball Fundraiser. The Pittsboro Rotary Club also organizes an annual Valentine’s Virtual Bingo Fundraiser to promote the scholarship and raise additional funds.
