Commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion:
At Rotary, we understand that cultivating a diverse, equitable, and inclusive culture is essential to realizing our vision of a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change.
We value diversity and celebrate the contributions of people of all backgrounds, across age, ethnicity, race, color, disability, learning style, religion, faith, socioeconomic status, culture, marital status, languages spoken, sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity as well as differences in ideas, thoughts, values, and beliefs.
Recognizing that individuals from certain groups have historically experienced barriers to membership, participation, and leadership, we commit to advancing equity in all aspects of Rotary, including in our community partnerships, so that each person has the necessary access to resources, opportunities, networks, and support to thrive.
We believe that all people hold visible and invisible qualities that inherently make them unique, and we strive to create an inclusive culture where each person knows they are valued and belong. In line with our value of integrity, we are committed to being honest and transparent about where we are in our DEI journey as an organization, and to continuing to learn and do better.
Looking for ways to develop...

financial skills so you better achieve financial goals and stay in control of your personal finances?
Financial literacy is a person’s knowledge of managing money, and financial education includes the instructional material used to transfer financial knowledge. Financial wellness, on the other hand, is the art of applying a person’s financial knowledge, skills, and behaviours (competencies) so they can live a fulfilling life.
To have financial wellness, we need to control our finances and achieve financial goals to live a secure future...

The Road to Financial Wellness
There are several challenges many face when trying to apply their financial education;
- They are missing financial pieces.
- Some of the financial pieces are either too big or too small.
- People are trying to put the pieces together without having a map or a picture to go by.
The Rotary District 5360 Adventures in Career and Financial Wellness Camp is designed to provide local youth with the financial pieces needed to live a secure economic life.
Do you know of a youth looking for more pieces to their financial life?
Do you know of a youth that needs help transitioning into adulthood?
