STEM Youth Explorer Academy
In the US today there is a large disparity between the number of STEM college graduates and position openings. The STEM disciplines are key to Rotary’s success in delivering on its “Seven Areas of Focus.”   STEM YEA started with an idea from one Rotarian in August 2020. On July 8, 2022, the inaugural four-day three-night residential STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) -focused Academy took place at Albright College (Reading, PA). Forty-one underserved middle-schoolers (12–13-year-olds) from schools in Montgomery, Bucks, Berks, Lehigh, and Northampton Counties had an opportunity to explore, experiment and engage in exciting subject areas to ignite their imaginations and enthusiasm to learn. The Academy is part of the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) organized by Rotarians that provide intensive leadership experience to develop skills for youth as leaders while having fun and making connections.
 
In 2022, Addison Hill represented Warrington and participated in the Academy curriculum: “Astrobiology, The Search for Life on Mars”. After camp Addie presented the highlights including building a Mars rover, planning travel to Mars, lasting friendships, and great food.

Camp Neidig

Warrington Rotarians are sponsoring students to train as future leaders. Camp Neidig is a summertime leadership program open to all high school students in Rotary District 7430 (Southeastern Pennsylvania). One hundred fifty exceptional young men and women from 60 high schools within Rotary District 7430 have the opportunity to live, work, and socialize together in a dynamic leadership environment. Camp activities include leadership development activities focused on contemporary problems, ethical situations, and decision making. Activities include group discussions, problem solving, team building, guest presentations, and outdoor activities. Participants will make friendships that last a lifetime. Lee Greenberg is the point for this initiative.

4 Way Speech Contest

Every February, Warrington Rotary holds a Four Way Test Speech Competition. Local high school students must prepare a 5–7-minute speech to illustrate the Rotary Four-Way Test, described [below, to the left, to the right]. The student must follow the Four-Way Test Theme throughout, must relate the speech to his/her own activities, must present a human-interest appeal, and must choose language that is clear, vivid, and persuasive. The student must demonstrate organization of thought including an introduction, clear and orderly points and a brief conclusion that drives home the point of application. And finally, the student must be effective in his or her speech delivery including volume, grammar, gestures, and attitude toward the audience. Judging criteria include Content (50%), Organization (30%), and Delivery (20%). The winner can move to the regional and district 7430 District competitions. The coordinator for this program is Bob Williamson. Learn more at 4Way Speech Contest | District 7430 (rotarydistrict7430.org)
