District 5450 Membership Huddle
Youth Services are more than programs - they’re pathways!
Join us for this Membership Huddle as we explore how Rotary’s youth programs can fuel club vitality, engagement, and growth, while uncovering opportunities many clubs don’t realize they already have.
February 11, 2026 @ 4 pm MST via Zoom
Together, we’ll examine Rotary’s youth services pipeline — RYLA, Interact, Youth Exchange, Rotaract, and Scholarships — through a fresh lens: not simply as programs we support, but as connections that can deepen relationships, strengthen visibility, and foster future membership growth.
Guest Speakers:
- Cindy Chase, speaking to the value of youth services in Rotary and their role in strengthening club vitality
- Tim Taravella, sharing how Youth Exchange contributes to engagement, connection, and club growth
We are also pleased to be joined by District Youth Services Leaders:
- Lee Mulberry, RYLA, YRYLA & RYLAplus
- Augusto Rocha, Interact
- Nicole Handal, Rotaract
- Mindy Hanson, Scholarships
This experienced team ensures a well-rounded conversation and will be ready to answer questions across the full spectrum of Rotary youth programs.
This session is designed to spark new thinking, challenge assumptions, and help clubs recognize missed opportunities already within reach.
“Many clubs are closer to their next great member than they realize — they’re already engaged through youth services.”
