Youth Service
Rotary Clubs are deeply involved in Youth Service, which is one of Rotary International’s five Avenues of Service. Youth Service focuses on empowering young people through leadership development, education, and community service.
Since 1984 the Rotary Club of Aspen has awarded scholarships to many Aspen and Basalt High School students! Currently the club offers at least two premier four-year-scholarship to graduating students from both Aspen and Basalt High Schools. Recipients are awarded based on a combination of merit, need, extracurricular activities, and the student's exemplification of the Rotary motto "Service Above Self." These scholarships are funded through Aspen Rotary Club Ducky Derby proceeds.

We channel our commitment to service at home and abroad through five Avenues of Service, which are the foundation of club activity.
