May in Rotary: Where Hope Begins

There is a simple truth about change: it starts early. Nicholas Kristof has often shown that when we invest in young people - before the world fully sees them - the impact can shape generations.

May, Youth Service Month, is our reminder to do exactly that.

Through Rotary International, we see it every day: students stepping into leadership, organizing service, and finding their voice. These may seem like small moments, but they are the foundation of something much larger.

Because hope is built through mentorship, trust and opportunity.

And in that work, we are not just serving.

We are building peace
