Josephine Falzarano, Rotary Woodend

Director, Youth Pathways

 
The role of the District Youth Service Chairs Committee is to recommend, coordinate, and support clubs in District 9800 in delivering effective Youth Service programs. These programs are District-Managed, District-Endorsed, or district-supported. Essentially, the objective is to provide innovative and practical opportunities to assist and motivate children, young people, and associated stakeholders in our communities to acquire learning and life skills. The District Youth Committee is open to recommendations and feedback.
