OUR YOUTH PROGRAMS
Interact is Rotary Internationals’ service club for youth ages 14 to 18. Interact clubs are sponsored by individual Rotary Clubs, which provide support and guidance, but Interact Clubs are self-governing and self-supporting. We sponsor Boulder City High Schools' Interact Club.  The purpose of Interact is to provide opportunity for young people to work with Rotarians for fellowship and learn dedicated service and international understanding.
The Goals of Interact Are:
To recognize and develop constructive leadership and personal integrity.
To encourage and practice thoughtfulness and helpfulness to others.
To create an awareness of the importance of home and family.
To build respect for the rights of others, based on recognition of the worth of each individual.
To emphasize acceptance of individual responsibility as the basis of personal success, community improvement and group achievements.
To recognize the dignity and value of all useful occupations as opportunities to serve society.
To provide opportunities for gaining increased knowledge and understanding of community, national and world affairs.
To open avenues of personal and group action leading to the advancement of international understanding and goodwill toward all people.
RYLA ~ Rotary Youth Leadership is for high-school sophomores and juniors and is a life-changing leadership training program to assist youth with leadership skills and citizenship while encouraging personal growth, integrity and  principles. Rotary clubs help facilitate the curriculum. Each year, Boulder City Sunrise Rotary  sponsors youths to participate in this unique opportunity for leadership and personal development.
TLC ~ Teen Leadership Camp is a spin-off of RYLA with beginnings in our own District 5300 in 2000. This program is for 8th grade students using Rotarians as role models, teaching Rotary ideals and programs. TLC helps students develop basic leadership skills and points them in the right direction to fulfill their potential.

ROTARIANS AT WORK

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, Projects

During 2005-2006 the very generous President of Boulder City Sunrise Rotary made a large donation to be earmarked for international projects for less fortunate children in the barrio of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Projects began and will be ongoing in partnership with Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, Rotarians.

Our International Avenues of Service projects chairman, has continued directing these projects as well as to keep us informed on progress. These projects have "opened the eyes of our hearts" to those less fortunate internationally.

Partial proceeds from Sunrise Rotary’s weekly 50/50 raffle is also sent to Cabo for the food bank or other needs.

Boulder City Sunrise Rotary supports Los Ninos del Capitan Preschool, which provides a safe environment, education and loving care for children of low-income, single parent families in the barrio. We have made several trips to paint, take pizza, special treats and surprises and spend a day of quality time with the children. The pleasure is all ours!

The 110 children  of  the School for Special Needs at Cabo San Lucas are enjoying the playground equipment that members of BCSR installed along with a fence, fresh paint and other updates.  The school educates children from age 5 to 18 but had no playground equipment or play area.

A much needed Casa Hogar Orphanage in the barrio has been built and opened to house 30 boys in a modern facility which includes a medical infirmary, shaded play area and garden. A water treatment plant has been built to provide water to the area.  The Rotary Club of Cabo San Lucas will operate the orphanage thru a foundation. The social services of Mexico will identify and place the children and handle the adoptions.

ERADICATE POLIO
Let's Do It!

“PolioPlus” is Rotary's only corporate program, and Rotary believes the Family of Rotary will want to be involved in sharing the legacy of eradicating polio that has caused so much disability and death worldwide.
Rotary International has made it a number-one priority  when it began the  PolioPlus Program in 1985 as the first and largest internationally-coordinated private sector support of  a public health campaign.  The program’s goal was to have a polio free world  by the year 2000, a goal set in 1988. This did not happen! As a result  of the efforts of Rotary International and its global partners over 2 billion children have received oral polio vaccine.

Rotary has received a $100 Million Challenge from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation as well as a $3.5 Million Challenge from the Google Foundation. There are  others who have and will join in our fight to stamp out this crippling disease.

Each and every Rotary Club is being asked to contribute at least $1,000 annually for the next three years.  With the nearly 33,000 clubs around the world this should result in almost a full match of $100 million. These efforts will be a vital catalyst in support of polio eradication, however, more will be needed to finish the job.  Rotary, along with its partners in the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, the World Health Organization, UNICEF, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and others will continue the fight until the job is done.

What is Boulder City Sunrise Rotary’s part?  Sunrise Rotary’s vision for the 2008-2009 year will be to buy into this three year project. First with making our own club aware of  polio and the PolioPlus project. Second, a community awareness program and then with fundraising efforts in our immediate club, our family of Rotary and in our community.
