ROTARY YOUNG CITIZEN AWARD
|

Source: RIBI
Date: 04/01/07
Rotary International in Great Britain and Ireland (RIBI) are launching the Rotary Young Citizen Award, with TV coverage by BBC News 24. The award will recognise young people (under the age of 25) who have demonstrated their commitment to citizenship through working with Rotary.
Five awards of a trophy, a cash prize of £500 and a visit to BBC News will be made to five Rotary projects involving young people working in their communities to improve the lot of others. Especially attractive projects will be those involving young people helping young people. The awardee may be an individual or a group.
Ideas of projects that could gain awards are.
- Interactors in the inner city raising money to buy ingredients & then cook and serve breakfasts for fellow students whose parents can't afford to give them a proper breakfast
- Young people raising money for the Wheelchair Foundation to supply young people abroad with a wheelchair
- A young disabled person starring at sport or helping other young people
- A youth exchange student doing charitable work abroad
- Award to a school for filling a very large number of shoeboxes or similar.
We are working in conjunction with BBC News 24 and the winning projects will form the basis for a mini - series of reports for television. It is therefore intended that the award will be made by the RIBI President, at the point of delivery. In addition the awardees will be featured at the RIBI Conference in Bournemouth in April with planned TV coverage.
A nomination form is available from the Secretariat at Alcester or it can be downloaded from the Youth Activities pages of the RIBI website. Nominations forms should be retuned to the Secretariat as soon as possible and before 28th February 2007.
