1. NEW GENERATIONS THE FIFTH AVENUE OF SERVICE

2. HOW NEW GENERATIONS CAME TO BE Every 3 years the Council on Legislation (COL) meets to consider change. “Youth Service” has been proposed as the 5 th Avenue of Service many times during the last 20 years. In April of 2010 the COL accepted the proposal presented by Ron Sekkel from District 5170 with a minor name change to New Generations Service. New Generations as an Avenue of Service will have an international affect on Rotary with additional and intentional focus placed on Rotary programs for youth and young adults.
