District 9800 Sponsorships for Calgary & Adelaide District 9800 is thrilled to announce an exciting opportunity for young Rotarians and Rotaractors to grow as leaders and experience the power of Rotary on a global and national scale.
Through an approved sponsorship initiative, we will be supporting young leaders (aged 18–35) to attend either:
🔹 The 2025 Rotary International Convention in Calgary (21–25 June 2025) – a world-class event bringing together over 20,000 Rotarians from across the globe for inspiration, networking, and learning.
🔹 The Multi-District Impact Summit/District Conference in Adelaide (16–18 May 2025) – a dynamic conference designed to engage and equip young leaders within the Australian Rotary community.
This initiative reflects District 9800’s commitment to developing future leaders by providing them with opportunities to learn, connect, and contribute in meaningful ways.
Why This Matters
Investing in our young Rotarians and Rotaractors is investing in the future of Rotary. By attending these events, successful applicants will:
✅ Gain insights into Rotary’s global and national impact
✅ Build leadership skills and expand their professional networks
✅ Be inspired to implement impactful community projects within their clubs and beyond
How It Works
The District will provide full and partial funding, covering event registration, travel, accommodation, and meals. Applications are open to young Rotarians and Rotaractors who are endorsed by their Club President and who commit to undertaking a community-based project within 12 months of attending.
Successful applicants will return with fresh ideas and a renewed passion for Rotary, ready to share their experiences and implement positive change within their communities.
