Youth Services Task Force
WHAT WE DO: The Big West Zones 26 & 27 Rotary Youth Services (RYS) Task Force exists to “connect the dots” between youth leaders and programs across our 30 districts. By making these connections and sharing information about existing programs and best practices, we aim to strengthen Rotary youth programs in the 30 districts in the Big West Zones.
HOW WE CAN HELP: Our Task Force:
• Connects youth leaders in our 30 districts
• Gathers and catalogs RYS programs and leaders’ information
• Identifies model RYS programs to showcase
• Develops an accessible RYS resource repository
• Sponsors virtual and in-person gatherings where participants can share best practices

WHO WE ARE: Our steering committee, comprised of nine Rotarians from around the Big West Zones, offers guidance and recommendations to the Zones 26 & 27 Rotary International Director. Additionally, we support zone-wide conferences and activities.
