Youth Service

District Chair      Malcolm Chiverton    -  Box Hill Central

Malcolm was District Governor in 2017-2018 when our own Ian Riseley was Rotary International President. It was an honour to be the District Governor at this time. He has since served as the Membership Chair for District 9810 and is currently the Youth Services Chair for District. He has been involved in Youth programs since 2000 when he was involved in the Charter of Whitehorse Rotaract and 10 years later in the Charter of Monash Rotaract, the Rotaract Chair for 10 years, a member of the RYPEN committee and now the NYSF Chair and a member of the RYLA joint District 9810 & 9820 committee.

He encourages everyone with an interest in any of the Youth programs to get on a District committee to reap the rewards of working with enthusiast and energetic young people that are truly inspiring.

c.  Rotaract

Rotaract Clubs offer 18+ year-olds opportunities for personal growth through service. The Rotaract motto is “Help, learn, enjoy”: members help those in need; learn through professional development opportunities; and enjoy social activities. There are opportunities for Club Service, Community Service, International Service and Professional/Personal Development. Rotaract clubs work closely with their sponsoring Rotary Clubs.
For more information go to Rotaract tab in this website
 

2.  Allied Youth Projects

a. Dolly Parton Imagination Library

A club project to introduce this exceptional early childhood initiative for babies and children up to 5 years. As the community partner, Rotary clubs can nominate a distribution area and number of children they wish to fund. Then, a community project is created to enrol parents and child(ren). The registered children will receive a quality book (from Penguin Australia) mailed monthly through our partner United Way Australia.
Books in the home and shared reading experiences support early literacy – and are critical indicators of later educational success.
 
Contact: Barrie Vickers Bayswater or John Williams Noble Park
 

b.  Schools ANZAC Day Commemoration

ANZAC Commemoration Service for Schools is a club project which promotes an event in the week leading up to ANZAC DAY for schools to come together to commemorate the Anzac tradition.  A proposed format and organisational details can be provided. The project presents excellent opportunities to work in partnership with the local municipal council, RSL, Federal and State representatives and develops ongoing relationships with schools and businesses.
 
Contact:  Keith Anderson   Templestowe or   Lance Deveson   Boronia

b. 4 Way Test Speech Contest

A club project which promotes public speaking in a competition for Year 10 students on the topic of Rotary’s 4- Way Test, supported by sponsoring Rotary Clubs working in partnership with their local schools and Toastmasters International. Benefits to participating students include exposure to the ideals and ethical values of Rotary, proficiency in the art of public speaking and confidence and self-esteem gained from presenting to large audiences.

Open to applicants about to enter the final year of secondary education who have demonstrated an outstanding interest in science and technology.  The NYSF organisation is independent from Rotary.  This is a club project not supported by Rotary District 9810.   contact Malcom Chiverton 
 

Note:

We have made a decision to extend the early bird application fee deadline for the 2023 NYSF Year 12 Program to 17 August. This also includes a slight extension to the closing date (was 14 August) so that it now falls on a Wednesday, allowing us to better manage those last-minute enquires. The following details have been sent out to applicants who are 'in progress' and have not yet submitted their application. This will allow a greater number of students to approach Rotary Clubs and to work with you on their Rotary Endorsement Forms if required. We encourage you to please advise your Clubs to finalise their Endorsement Forms with applicants and to notify you if there are any students who require help at a District level. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if there’s anything we can do to assist you as we enter the final few weeks of applications.

You can now submit your application until 17 August for the reduced fee of $25

(We've also extended applications to the 17th because Wednesday is so much nicer than Sunday!)

Don't leave it to the last minute though, especially if you're approaching a Rotary Club for support.
