WHAT'S YOUR EXTENSION?

August is Membership and Extension Month. The success of Rotary as a whole depends on the commitment and hard work of its club members. The same applies to Rotary's youth and young adult programs: Interact, Rotaract, and RYLA. Successful programs retain their current participants and stay connected to alumni while constantly seeking out new and creative ways to grow.
When reviewing your membership and extension activities, ask yourself the following questions:
  • How do you recruit new members or program participants?
  • Has your Interact or Rotaract club developed a membership strategy or membership goals for the new Rotary year?
  • How can your Interact or Rotaract club keep members engaged and motivated all year long? What is the average meeting attendance throughout the year? How can you improve this?
  • How can you better stay in touch with RYLA program alumni? Can alumni get involved in future RYLA programs?
  • How do you select your club projects or fundraisers? How can you better leverage the interests of club members when developing these service activities?
  • What kind of presence does your club or RYLA program have in your community? On your campus?
