May is Youth Service Month in Rotary, a time dedicated to celebrating, empowering, and elevating young people as partners in service and leadership. Through cornerstone programs like Interact, Rotaract, Youth Exchange, and RYLA, Rotary provides youth with meaningful opportunities to develop critical life skills, explore global citizenship, and make a tangible impact in their communities. These programs go beyond leadership training; they nurture empathy, foster cross-cultural understanding, and ignite a lifelong passion for service. This month, we are reminded that when we invest in youth, we invest in the very future of Rotary and of the world.
At CMIRC, we take great pride in supporting the growth of young leaders across Chiang Mai and beyond. Youth Service Month is not just a celebration; it’s a reaffirmation of our commitment to mentorship and partnership with the next generation. Whether it's through sponsoring Interact Clubs, hosting youth exchange students, or supporting local youth-led initiatives, we are shaping a legacy that extends well beyond our club. As Rotarians, let us continue to lead by example, offering guidance, encouragement, and opportunity to the young changemakers who will carry our values into the future.
