Summary: Supporting Youth Scholarships, RYLA and LEAD
The LM Sunrise Rotary Club will initiate a new Interact Club at Helix Charter High School. We will assist the Interact Club with member recruitment, service projects, and fundraising activities. Our club will continue to collaborate with Diego Hills Innovation High School in City Heights. Our foundation will give out up to eight $500 scholarships to successful Innovation High students to continue their education or complete vocational training. We will also support their food pantry by restocking the pantry on a quarterly basis. For the holiday season, we will purchase toys and clothes to give out as gifts for up to 30 children of the teenage students. We will support 3 teams to compete in the 2025 Model UN Conference, including 2-3 international students from Central America (if additional funds can be secured for their airfare). Finally, we will support 6-8 students to attend RYLA and LEAD leadership training programs.
