This year’s District 5170 International Project will be within the Rotary family, minimizing the dollars used on administrative costs – in other words, every penny of your money will be spent helping the needy! We will be fundraising for three projects on three continents, spreading our love farther than ever before. The first continent we will hit is Africa. Last year, we were able to donate mosquito nets and toys to a village in Ghana. This year, we will partner up with Rotaractors in Ghana to build and furnish a school – from scratch – for a village.

I would like to start forums in Connecticut and through out many of the cities in Connecticut to combat Teenage Reckless Driving run by Teens focused towards Teens. I believe that many teenagers in our area were greatly affected by the many lives lost due to reckless driving, most noteably the crash in Bristol in August killing four area teens from four different high schools. So much time is taken in schools to combat drunk driving and driving under the influence, but everyday teenagers are on the road, speeding, playing road games, and generally not being safe.

During my junior year in high school my friends and I decided to hold a benefit dance to raise money and awareness for Pancreatic Cancer, a usually fatal cancer. My friends father was recently diagonosed with this Cancer in the spring of the previous year. So we decided to help other victims by raising money to aid in the research of this cancer. We went to businesses all over our area to gain sponsorship money to help with our profits. Then we had to find a location. Our school told us we coudn't have it there, so we decided on the local skating rink.

Girls Lead! (previously Girls' Economic Power Day) is targeted towards teen girls in order that they may learn life skills not taught in the classroom. Participants attend informative and inspiring workshops developed and lead by teen girls on topics such as fearless speaking, negotiation skills, career options, budgeting, investing, teamwork, communication, conflict resolution, entrepreneurship, how to get a job, stereotypes and much more. Teen Moxie believes young women first need to be comfortable with themselves before they can truly be successful at gaining economic power.

Cookies 4 Climate Change is a start-up organization that was started and is run by youth. We focus on the small things that people can do to protect the environment. We also focus on the purchase and placement of "no idling" around Jackson Hole. We primarily fund raise through bake sales and raffles.

In the Spring of 2005, two students at Person High School in North Carolina committed suicide. Everyone around the community wanted to do something about it, but no one was sure exactly how to do it. Many of the students of the school wanted to create plaques, draw, and have a full memorial for the two students. This is when I stepped up to the challenge and said, "Why don't we create something long term, to prevent this from ever happening again?"
I looked up valuable information from the American Foundation for Suicide prevention, as well as local records.

This project looks to provide drug treatment for adolescents who otherwise would not be able to afford help. Through fundraisers and awareness programs, I hope to provide help to teenage drug addicts in Chicago and its surrounding areas. Many inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation facilities are not covered by insurance, leaving many families faced with a horrible dilema: Watch their loved one's descent down a deathspiral or be financially burdened for years to come. Rehab Rangers looks to "rescue" these families and provide help to teenagers who have hit "rock bottom".
