By the end of this session, you’ll be able to: - Understand how young people find Rotary and become involved

As a part of Rotary, you have played a critical role in helping us reduce polio cases by 99.9% since 1988, but we know our work isn’t done until we end polio for good. You can find a variety of resources to help spread the word on the End Polio Now Resource Center. |  |

| | | Rotary Citation name change | The name of the Rotary Citation is changing to the Club Excellence Award. While the name is changing, the award’s purpose and requirements will remain the same. This award recognizes Rotary, Rotaract, and Interact clubs that successfully achieve goals that are aligned with Rotary’s action plan. The RI Board approved this change to better convey the award’s purpose as a recognition of club excellence. This change will take effect on 1 July 2024.
