YouthAct is a Rotary program of Service Above Self for middle school and junior high students ages 11 to 14. Very similar to Interact (high school) and Rotaract (college, university, or community), YouthAct is the next level downward in age as it relates to Rotary youth programs.
YouthAct is an exciting program that is building momentum in District 6930. In January, 2005, the first YouthAct club was established in our district at Jupiter Middle School of Technology; sponsored by the Rotary Club of Jupiter-Tequesta Sunrise.
