Community Service for Kids in EarlyAct™

EarlyAct™ provides elementary students the opportunity for gaining an increased awareness and knowledge of their community and the world. At a young age, all students can easily be encouraged to be caring and helpful. Their minds are open to recognize the dignity and worth of each individual which builds respect for others.

EarlyAct™ also engages students in character-building activities and prepares them for leadership roles to identify and carry out projects which benefit their school, local and global communities.

2. The students realize the importance of respect, dignity and caring for all people by promoting good will and understanding through their active participation at school, local and community levels.

1. The students develop high student achievement by actively participating in various projects to improve the quality of life for their school, local and global communities. They work with the sponsoring Rotary club members as facilitators, mentors and role models.

How does and EarlyAct™ club work?

An EarlyAct™ club meets twice monthly for approximately thirty or forty-five minutes. Meetings are conducted by the EarlyAct™ officers, using parliamentary procedure under the guidance of attending faculty and Rotarian advisors.

1. Students recognize real life problems, reason effectively and make logical connections as they select and apply appropriate solutions to those problems.
2. Opportunities for service are created and ultimately, students improve the quality of life for their school, as well as local and global communities.
3. All Projects undertaken are chosen and managed by the students facilitated by the educators and Rotarian advisors.
