Welcome
Youth: ‘Helping Young People Achieve Their Potential’ is our theme.
The Rotary Conference for the SW Peninsula IN 2025 is more than just a Conference, it’s a Meeting of Youth to inspire and motivate Rotarians and the public, young and old, to achieve more.
Our Meeting of Youth on the Saturday (International Women’s Day) is a programme of events to challenge and inspire young people from across Devon and Cornwall, along with opportunities to win large cash prizes. A Youth Village offers networking and engagement opportunities to organisations supporting the young.
To achieve this we are calling on those who have benefitted from Rotary: ShelterBox and alumni from various Youth programmes are involved. This is their payback: helping other young people achieve their potential.
Helping Rotarians Achieve Their Potential is all made possible thanks to our very generous sponsors who have made it possible for free Conference registration; encouraging you to attend and to do more.
