In much of the official literature of Rotary International relating to service to young people, a special slogan will be found- "Every Rotarian an Example to Youth." These words were adopted in 1949 by the Rotary International Board of Directors as an expression of commitment to children and youth in each community in which Rotary clubs exist. Serving young people has long been an important part of the Rotary program.

Youth service projects take many forms around the world and in District 5040. Rotarians sponsor athletic teams, handicapped children's programs, school safety initiatives, summer camps, children's play grounds, skate board parks, and support the children's hospital. Many clubs provide vocational counseling, establish youth employment programs or specialized weekend adventure programs and promote use of The 4-Way Test.  Several District 5040 Rotary clubs sponsor youth from their community to attend  Adventures in Citizenship  in Ottawa.

In every instance, Rotarians have an opportunity to be role models for the young men and women of their community. One learns to serve by observing others. As our youth grow to become adult leaders, it is hoped each will achieve that same desire and spirit to serve future generations of children and youth.

District 5040 has organized committees that focus on the official youth programs of Rotary International.
