HOW NEW GENERATIONS CAME TO BE

• Every 3 years the Council on Legislation (COL) meets to consider change.

• “Youth Service” has been proposed as the 5th Avenue of Service many times during the last 20 years.

• In April of 2010 the COL accepted the proposal presented by Ron Sekkel from District 5170 with a minor name change to New Generations Service.

• New Generations as an Avenue of Service will have an international affect on Rotary with additional and intentional focus placed on Rotary programs for youth and young adults.
