Vocational Service is an important mission of Rotary. Each year the Rotary Club of Melbourne offers a number of awards to reward excellence in education, training, and vocational contributions to our community.
The Rotary Club of Melbourne Young Achievers awards recognise and honour three outstanding young Victorians with an award and a cheque for $1,500.
Awardees are invited to a lunch meeting where a cheque and a Certificate of Achievement are presented.
If you know of persons who may qualify for this award, please discuss this with Iqbal Reta, Marg Leser or other members of the Vocational Service Committee.
