All about the Club's Centennial Celebration
The Rotary Center for Career Training --
New Avenues for Youth
To mark our centennial in 2010, the Rotary Club of Portland is celebrating a "Century of Service" with a transformational community project.
In partnership with Portland-based New Avenues for Youth, the Rotary Club of Portland plans to open the Rotary Center for Career Training, which will provide job and educational services for hundreds of homeless and at-risk teens. Rotarians and community members are invited to an open house for the unveiling on Wednesday, May 12 from 5:30 - 7:30 p.m. to share hors d'oeuvres, view the space and celebrate the partnership. For more information, click here.
Large community projects are a Rotary tradition and an example of how members live up to the Rotary goal of offering 'Service Above Self.' Among our 100-year highlights are: donations to the Doernbecher Children’s Hospital beginning in the 1920's, more than $13 million raised to finance both the Rose Garden Children’s Park and the new Portland Children’s Museum in Washington Park, and $1.5 million to create six 14-person cabins at Rotary Village at YMCA Camp Collins. Our Club is thrilled to contribute to the continued success of New Avenues for Youth, and to continue our community service tradition for the next 100 years.

Rotary Program Spotlight: Youth Exchange
Rotary Youth Exchange is an opportunity for high school students to spend time living in and experiencing in a foreign country. Participants learn about different cultures, different languages, and different ways of looking at the world, as they explore a new country, attend a new school, and stay with an average of three host families during their time abroad. Currently, Rotary Club of Portland has two outbound and two inbound students. Visit our YouTube channel and watch a video filled with amazing photos from India, by our very own Youth Exchange participant Emily!
