September is New Generations Month
9月為新世代月 |
|
September is New Generations Month, the
perfect time to think about how you can strengthen your club’s participation in the Rotary Youth Exchange program. A strong program promotes
world understanding and involves the next generation of Rotary in advancing peace.
9月是新世代月，正是思索如何加強所屬扶輪社參與扶輪青少年交換計畫的大好時刻。穩健的計畫有助於增進全世界對扶輪新世代的瞭解並積極參與，進一步促進和平。
Continue Building Communities — Bridging Continents through Youth Exchange in your district. Invite inbound and
rebound students to Rotary club meetings to share their experiences living abroad. Encourage exchange participants to stay involved with Rotary by
joining an Interact or Rotaract club or by attending a local RYLA event. These opportunities will give students a better understanding of Rotary, the
Youth Exchange program, and the importance of strengthening relationships across borders and cultures.
透過在扶輪地區推動青少年交換計畫，持續落實「打造社區
–
連結世界」的目標。邀請接待學生及再度參與計畫的交換學生，參加扶輪社會議以分享住在國外的經驗談。鼓勵交換學生加入扶輪少年服務團或扶輪青年服務團，或是參與本地的扶輪青少年領袖營(RYLA)活動，藉此持續參與扶輪。這些機會將讓學生深入瞭解扶輪、青少年交換計畫、橫跨國界與文化以鞏固關係的重要性。
 Your club’s
and district’s involvement in youth programs not only can attract younger members who have families but also can lead to increased satisfaction
and retention among current members, who gain a sense of fulfillment by working with young people. As an added benefit, involving your
community’s youth in Rotary programs and service projects teaches them about the organization’s extraordinary work and prepares them to
become the Rotarians of tomorrow.
所屬扶輪社與扶輪地區參與青少年交換計畫，不僅能吸引擁有家庭的年輕社員，還能讓與年輕人共事的現任社員得到充實感，進而提高滿意度與留社率。另一項附帶優點則是，讓社區年輕人加入扶輪計畫及服務專案，能教導年輕人扶輪組織的具體工作內容，讓其做好準備以成為未來的扶輪人。

馬上報名參加國際扶輪2010年度扶輪少年服務團短片比賽吧。
The contest gives participants
the opportunity to tell the world about the impact Interact has made on
their lives, while bringing Interactors and Rotarians closer together.
參賽者有機會透過短片告訴全世界加入扶輪少年服務團對自我的人生帶來了甚麼影響，同時讓扶輪少年服務團員與扶輪社員更加緊密與團結。
"They are still
celebrating," says Virginia Barr, liaison to the Interact Club of
Communities-in-Schools at the South Carolina Department of Juvenile Justice,
USA, which was the 2009 Interact video contest grand-prize winner.
美國南卡羅萊納州少年司法部學校社群扶輪少年服務團的聯絡人Virginia
Barr表示：「他們至今仍在慶祝。」該服務團是2009 年度短片比賽的首獎得主。
"Giving Back Through Interact" was
directed and produced by Interactors enrolled in the Communities in Schools
curriculum at the juvenile corrections facility in Columbia, with help from
adviser Andy Broughton, an employee of the Juvenile Justice Department.
參加哥倫比亞少年行為矯正設施學校社群課程的扶輪少年服務團成員，在少年司法部顧問Andy
Broughton 的協助下，導演並製作了「透過扶輪少年服務團給予回饋」短片。
"It really became
an avenue for them to share what the Interact club has meant to them," says
Barr, a member of the sponsor Rotary Club of Lake Murray-Irmo. "It changed
their perspective on where they fit in the community and reinforced to them
that they are indeed a part of the community."
協助拍攝的莫雷-伊莫湖扶輪社社員Barr 說道：「拍攝短片成為青少年分享扶輪少年服務團所具意義的途徑。入社改變了青少年對於融入社群的觀點，並鞏固青少年成為社群一份子的想法。」
"We didn't think
we could make a video, but we did," says Jalen, 17, a member of the Interact
club. "I discovered it feels good to do things for others and not get
anything back."
現年17歲的扶輪少年服務團員Jalen說：「我們自認一定拍不出短片，最後卻拍成了。我發現到協助他人而不求回報，竟是如此的快樂。」
