Dartmouth High Service Squad
Inspiring the Next Generation of Community Leaders! The Dartmouth Rotary Club is proud to announce an exciting collaboration with the Dartmouth High School Student Council, highlighting the power of service and the importance of youth involvement in making a difference.
Together, we’re launching the Service Squad Initiative, a program designed to inspire students to engage in meaningful community service projects.
At a recent meeting held at Dartmouth High School, Rotary Club members Carl Alves, Richard Arruda, Micaela Manzone, and Mark Medeiros introduced this initiative to student council members.
The goal? To foster a long-term partnership between our Rotary Club, local schools, and students, working hand-in-hand to address pressing community issues through service.
Three Key Project Areas:
Melanoma Awareness – Educating the community about prevention and early detection.
Intergenerational Connections – Bridging the gap between generations through impactful interactions.
Farm Planting for Food Insecurity – Tackling hunger by planting and providing fresh food for needy people.
Reuse, Repurpose, Recycle... Rotary is doing its part today! Proceeds support youth programs! #joinrotary David Brodeur
