Rhoda W. introduces Kasey Killiam, a grade 12 student chosen by the Club as this year's attendee to the Adventures in Citizenship training Camp held in Ottawa earlier in 2015.
The mission of the Young Citizens Foundation is to assist young Canadians to grow and mature as committed, knowledgeable and contributing Canadian citizens. To achieve this objective, the Foundation encourages young Canadians to participate in development programs of nationally recognized organizations such as Rotary's Adventures in Citizenship...
These programs provide life-learning opportunities for our youth, which will significantly influence and benefit their development as committed Canadian citizens. Participation in these organizations develops leadership skills, exposes students to the various citizenship ideals that the country values, and provides very positive mentoring.
The provision of post-secondary scholarships will enable these students to continue their education so that they can achieve positions of leadership in their communities, regionally and nationally. The Foundation also wants to provide an opportunity for those individuals, corporations and organizations that wish to assist the Foundation in this worthwhile endeavour to donate to a well-managed, cost-effective, non-profit charitable foundation.
Kasey thanked the Club for this opportunity to attend Adventures in Citizenship. An experience she will never forget.
Rotarian Alaina Alexander thanked Kasey for her interesting talk on the 2015 Adventures in Citizenship held in Ottawa and presented her with a token of the Club’s appreciation.
