Youth Service Narrative for Rotary Club of:

RCEH sponsors an Interact Club at Kalani High School and the Rotaract Club at Chaminade University

This past year we sponsored 3 students to attend RYLA.

As a club we sponsored the HRYF Scholarship by donating to HRYF and sponsoring a scholarship

application. The student selected by our committee exuded great poise and confidence. However, during the

interview, she confided to the committee that without assistance, she would not be able to attend any college.

Her scores were outstanding, but the family and financial situation was dire. Some fact-checking on our part

confirmed the statement and with the scholarship offer from RCEH, she now can move forward to becoming

an educated and purpose driven member of the community.

From the scholarship interviews, the committee determined a need to provide mentorship and skills

sharpening of students to handle interviews. A special committee was formed using the talents in the Club of

business leaders to mentor and offer training to the Rotaract Club at Chaminade to prepare for job interviews

after college. The guides are being written now with input from Rotaract. Unfortunately, the first rounds will

take place after submission of this award nomination and we are unable to provide the impact statement.

Both Interact and Rotaract Clubs assisted in the Aina Haina Library Book Sale in August of 2018. They

provided physical labor to move over 2,000 books and other media to the front of the library in preparation for

the sale. The Rotary Club handled the 2-day sale. Members of the Rotaract Club came back in the last hour of

the sale to assist in clean up and movement of unsold books. Without their youthful exuberance and healthy

backs, the cleanup would have taken several hours. It took 8 of their members less than an hour to move the

books and media back to the appropriate areas. Last year with 10 regular club members it took us 2 hours.

Glad to have young people around.

RCKS sponsors an Interact Club at Island Pacific Academy. There are about 35 members of the club. An RCKS member serves as a liaison from RCKS to maintain frequent contact with the Interact officers, attend meetings of the club on campus, and coordinate with RCKS when Interact needs support, financially or with adult assistance. Student leadership this year has been strong, organizing many service opportunities for their members.

Activities of the Interact Club this year have included: Monthly cleaning of whiteboards in all campus classrooms Helping staff track meets organized by the school Fundraising on campus to support assistance for disaster relief Cancer Walk Food baskets at Thanksgiving for local police, fire personnel and library staff Christmas caroling at local senior care center Assisted student council with food drive for Food Bank Valentine’s Day activities at retirement residence “Senior” Prom at this same retirement residence planned for this spring (a repeat of a very successful event last spring)

Interact joint service with RCKS members:

October 2017 - Spookapalooza fundraiser support for the Hawaii Historic Railroad Society – RCKS members and Interact students dressed in scary costumes/makeup to participate in this annual event and support the work of the railroad society.

April 2017 and 2018 – RCKS members and Interact students combine forces to volunteer on the USS Missouri for the morning on Rotary at Work Day. The volunteer coordinator of the ship assigns tasks each year, which range from scrubbing the deck, to painting interior spaces. Almost all of our RCKS club participates in this event each year, and half or more of the students group.

Hawaii Rotary Youth Foundation Scholarship Program

RCKS participates in this program each year, making a donation of $40 per member to the fund and soliciting and picking up applications from local high schools. A committee of 4 people arrange interviews of the applicants, and one of our club members participates on the area interview board. We have forwarded an applicant in each of the last four years.

Youth Service Narrative of the Rotary Club of Upcountry Maui

The Student of the Month is our favorite meeting of the month. So many times we hear about the

problems with the youth of today. We are lucky enough to see and hear from Students who tell

us their activities of today including their Senior Project and what they do for their Community

Service. They tell us their plans for after they graduate and their dreams for the future. We leave

the meeting filled with hope for our future. The Students are chosen by their teachers from King

Kekaulike High School and Kamehameha Schools of Maui. The principals or their designees

come to the meetings with words from their teachers about each of the students. At the end of the

school year, the Students of the Months choose a Teacher of the Year. These meetings are the

highlights of our year.

RYLA is very important to our Club members. We have seen the growth of the participants and

the excitement that is generated throughout the weekend. Watching the young people realize they

have so much to offer to others their age as well as the confidence they gain in themselves is

incredible. There are some changes taking place in the Maui RYLA program and I’m pleased

that 2 members of RCUM will be chairing the RYLA Committee and help decide and implement

any changes the Committee feels will build on and improve what has come before.

HRYF provides our Club members to again see the depth and conviction of our young people.

As they read their resumes and hear their plans, they are struck by the depth within these young

people. Once our members have a chance to go to the interviews, they are ready to go back again

next year.

RCUM will be passing out dictionaries to 3rd graders in Makawao Elementary, Pukalani

Elementary, Carden Academy, Kamehemeha Schools of Maui, Haleakala Waldorf, Kula

Elementary and Montessori. At times, this is the only book the students own and they are thrilled

to discover what’s inside. Our Club members enjoy the time spent with the students as they see

what’s inside their own dictionary.
