Rotary recently recognized six of our fellow members aged 30 or under as “People of Action: Champions of Tomorrow”. Each of these service-minded leaders started initiatives to improve their communities. Among them is Olivia Raley, a member of the Rotary Club of Bardstown, Kentucky (D6710). Her project addresses youth mental health, in cooperation with other local organizations. Activities include creating community gardens and educational materials, as well as leading mental health workshops. As a result, 20% more local youth are accessing counseling services.
