LEAD Conference Dates October 12 & 13, 2024
Why be a LEAD Advisor?
One of the great joys of being a Rotarian is to share your vision of leadership and service with young people. LEAD gives you the opportunity to participate in leadership, learning, and fellowship activities with some of the District’s finest 8th grade students.
Being an Advisor involves participating in a LEAD activity with your group and guiding the group, as necessary, during that activity. Effective advising enables each student to participate fully in each activity, to share their point of view in an effective manner with others, and to develop skills to excel at life such as ethical decision making, efficient communication, trust, personal growth, a positive attitude, and teamwork.
How do I become a LEAD Advisor?
There are no formal requirements to be an Advisor. You must be a Rotarian and be interested in working with youth. The steps to become an Advisor are as follows.
- Check your personal calendar against the LEAD Club Timeline (found in the drop-down menu of this webpage) to insure that you will be available to participate in Advisor Orientation and the entire LEAD conference.
- Enter the LEAD conference date on your personal calendar.
- Notify your Rotary Club LEAD Chair that you will attend LEAD as an Advisor. There is no cost to you or to the club for you to participate!
- You must become Youth Certified before you are allowed to participate in any youth program of this District or of your Rotary club. You become Youth Certified by following the instructions on the Youth Services pages of the District website. If you are unable to do so, you may contact the Youth Protection Officer, Doug Clements, at ypo@rotary5340.org, or 858-487-8617, and Doug will help you.
