The Rotary Club of Crawley

Leadership is something The Rotary Club of Crawley is passionate about supporting and developing, especially amongst our youth (18-25).  Equally important to us, is the question of equity.

We want to ensure that our potential leaders of tomorrow, have access and opportunity for development, regardless of their financial means.  And that is why we have created the Corporate Youth Sponsorships.

The Rotary Club of Crawley is inviting a very select group of companies, to take up an opportunity to be our inaugural partners in an innovative new Youth Leadership Program – a Rotary first!

This is not your ‘run of the mill’ leadership program.  This is about supporting high caliber young people, students and business professionals, to become our leaders of tomorrow….and we have just the right people, program, networks and support to do it.

But we need you too!  Here’s how it works:

Overview
Since its inception, the Rotary Club of Crawley has set out to attract a more ‘youthful’ membership. 

We offer young people opportunities to develop in terms of interpersonal, leadership, and project management skills, and, to enjoy the shared experiences of networking, social activities and mentoring with business and community leaders. We already have a core of young members aged 20 – 40 years, and an average age about 20 years less than most Rotary Clubs!   We wish to encourage more, including the time poor and financially challenged.

That’s where we need corporate youth sponsors.  We want to remove the financial barriers so that young people are given leadership opportunities at the beginning of their careers.

Who are we?
The Rotary Club of Crawley is a new club, started here in Perth in February 2010. It is already the second largest in WA and growing rapidly.  It is a modern club with a difference, and has already set new benchmarks in Australia and overseas!

We don’t have the old fashioned rituals, ceremonies or chains of office, we have kept what is great about Rotary, and thrown the rest out.  We literally took Rotary, and stood it on its head.

Why we are different
We are a club firmly implanted in the 21st Century, understanding the time and financial constraints of modern living, and creating an environment of leadership and community in which everyone can contribute.

More than that, we have fun!
In fact, our motto is “Giving has never been this much fun!”  Even our logo emblem “Eliza” likes to dress up and have fun regularly!  It’s within our DNA.

We embrace and embody all that we teach.  With a broad mix of ages, occupations, interests and an even gender mix.  Now, we want to remove the financial barriers as well.

In fact, we are so different, and so successful, we are leading a cultural change.  Other clubs are looking to us as the model for Rotary of the future.
