Service to youth is an important focus of Niles Rotary. Our club supports Interact, RYLA and the 5170 annual Richard King Speech Contest. Participation gives young people opportunities for community service and leadership development, and to promote international peace and understanding.
- Interact clubs bring together young people ages 12-18 to develop leadership skills while discovering the power of Service Above Self. Our district is proud to have 8,000+ Interactors with Niles Rotary supporting the Washington High School club.
- Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) offers an intensive leadership experience organized by Rotarians, Rotary districts, and RYLA alumni where attendees develop their skills as a leader while having fun and making lifelong connections.
- Richard King Speech Contest challenges young high school speakers throughout District 5170 to present their speeches based on our Rotary motto, Service Above Self and the Four Way Test
