Student Presentations

Achievement Beyond Obstacles is a joint youth program with four Area 8 Rotary Clubs.  High School counselors and Principals select seniors who are on track to graduate despite enormous challenges in their life.  In this program, students spend a Leadership Weekend with professional coaches Dean and Rochelle Whellams, receive financial aid education and college mentoring, and guidance to help them with their next step in life. Every student who attended Leadership Weekend is invited to attend a Rotary meeting and bring a guest. We will hear a 3-minute presentation from them about their journey and what their plans are post high school.
