Project Description

Country: USA

Location: Caldwell

Total Budget: $10,306

Area of Focus: Basic education and literacy

Activity Type: Education: Volunteer Services

Summary: Leadership program in local elementary schools


This grant would be used to implement Everyday Leadership at three Title I, low-income schools in the Caldwell School district - Wilson Elementary, Van Buren Elementary and Washington Elementary. Approximately 60 students would benefit.

This is a collaborative effort uniting the resources of (1)School teachers and principals, (2)Caldwell School District directors, (3) Treasure Valley YMCA staff and (5) Rotarians from Rotary Clubs of Caldwell.

The grant would be used to provide school teachers and YMCA instructors to lead 13 leadership classes and two community service projects in each school. The funds would also be used to fund field trips and an end-of-session 1-day camp/lock-in at the Caldwell YMCA.

Rotarians play a central role in organizing, facilitating and funding the project. During the school year, 10-15 Rotarians meet with the students to discuss what they are learning and how they are using their new insights. Rotarians also provide logistical and transportation assistance as needed throughout the year.

The program has been very successful and is enthusiastically supported by the School District and the School administrators. Grades have increased, behavioral problems have decreased, and many of the participants have gone on to accelerated learning programs in junior high school.

Please refer to attached budget for a breakdown of costs of this program.

Incoming club president cannot be the primary contact person. Although you both will have equal access to administration functions of your grant application, District 5400 requires that the primary contact be someone other than the incoming president. This is to assure than more than one club member is minding grant activities. Please change the name in this role before starting the signature process. Your application must be signed by incoming club president and primary contact person no later than June 1st. Unsigned applications will not be considered for funding. Do this on the administration (gray button) side of the description tab by clicking "start club signature process". Do not send to district representatives. Thank you!
