Our mission: Helping children
The Rotary Club of Las Vegas West mentors students and provides books, computers, clothing, food and shoes to at-risk children in the Las Vegas Valley. We also offer scholarship opportunities and grants to students and teachers
The club partners with the Andre Agassi College Preparatory Academy, Fay Herron Elementary, Helen Jydstrup Elementary, Twin Lakes Elementary, and West Prep. Club members play active roles in school affairs and are much in evidence at school assemblies and award ceremonies.
Annual school grant
Each year our club makes a major grant to one of our sponsored schools.This grant is to be used by one of the club’s five partnered elementary schools to create a long-lasting educational foundation for students. The most recent winner of a $10,000 grant was West Prep.
Rotary Youth Leadership Award
Where will we find the leaders of tomorrow? Undoubtedly, many will come from the Rotary Youth Leadership Award participants. RYLA, as the program is known, is an intensive training program for community youth leaders.
Young people ages 14-30, chosen for their leadership potential, attend an all-expense-paid seminar, camp or workshop, generally three to 10 days in length, organized and run by Rotarians with records of achievement.
District 5300 Teen Leadership Camp
The Teen Leadership Camp is a spin-off program for 8th grade students from the Rotary Youth Leadership Award program.The program aims to develop understanding of Rotary among youth participants while using Rotarians as role models and the telling of Rotary ideals and programs.Know an 8th grader who might benefit from participation in the Teen Leadership Camp? Contact a member of the Rotary Club of Las Vegas West, or email us at: secretary@lasvegaswestrotary.org
And much else
Our club participates in many other worthy community service activities, including the Santa Clothes project that buys clothing and other items for needy children at Christmas.
International Service
Our members play active roles building homes for the needy in Mexico, and other global projects of Rotary International. Members have traveled to Mexico to assist in surgeries to repair cleft palates. In another international project, our club helped raise money to replace a mini-van used by the Motse wa Tsholofelo day-care center and pre-school in Maun, Botswana. It was falling to bits from hard use on the rough roads of Africa's remote Kalahari Desert. Our club also donated to help transport books to the Great Lakes College in Uganda.
