Soup for scholarships

The goal of the event is to raise $1,000. Scholarships can then be awarded to students at Evanston Township High School, Beacon Academy, and Roycemore.

Essentially, we are funding "Rotary Scholarships" in Evanston. The students will complete an application detailing how they embody the virtues of Rotary and serve their community. This will raise awareness of Rotary among young people and ensure their long-term engagement with the organization. Several Rotaract members joined the NU club because of receiving a Rotary scholarship in their hometown!

We help uplift and empower youth in Evanston and beyond!

RYLA

We have hosted inbound youth exchange students from Mexico, Italy, Brazil, and Thailand and have sent outbound students to Finland and Ecuador.

Youth Day

Other
Last year the YL committee supported a Roycemore student's proposal, received after her attendance at RYLA, for financial assistance so she could attend the annual summer World Affairs Seminar sponsored by Rotary District 6270 in southeastern WI.
