Help us create lasting change - Get Involved

BECOME A MENTOR WITH A LOCAL YOUNG PERSON 

 

MENTOR A STUDENT AT ROSEBUD SECONDARY COLLEGE

The BEAM Mentoring Program (Belonging, Engagement and Meaning) is a major project for Rotary Rosebud-Rye - an investment over the 2023/2024 year of $79,000. 

 

The program develops trusting, supportive relationships between carefully selected and trained community volunteers with at-risk junior secondary students. The volunteers have a 1:1 hour-long session every week, with volunteers passing on life skills, building self-esteem and personal development. 

What would you need to do? Activities can involve just talking, playing cards, cooking, physical activities, art, music - or whatever the mentee student chooses .... as well as regular group sessions that focus on issues pertinent to the students involved. 

And the impact? 

       - Student independence to turn up to the weekly mentor sessions

       - Excellent attendance at session

       - Positive student engagement and classroom teachers have noticed positive                                     engagement transferring to class in many instances

       - And the mentors expressed a sense of purpose and appreciate being involved

Making an Impact - Our Partnership with Young Change Agents (YCA)

 

Young Change Agents (YCA) empowers young people to identify problems in their community, reframing these as opportunities, and developing solutions with an entrepreneurial lens. The aim is to make it easy for schools and teachers to introduce and embed entrepreneurial learning and design thinking.

 Through our partnership with Young Change Agents, who received Victorian Government funding of $143,000 continued at July 2024 we have now helped to positively impact the learning of 900 primary and secondary students who participated in the program over the past two years. 

 

A great program and one that Rotarians are proud to be a part of. 

Supporting the Environment

And Helping Others at the same time

Through the generosity of our community who have donated their goods - and the energy and commitment of the amazing volunteers at the Warehouse, the Op Shop and Club Members, over the 2023/2024 year Rotary Rosebud-Rye has been able to support those in need through:

 

- Gifts in Kind valued at over $6,000

- Donations totalling $124,000 to causes locally, nationally and globally.

NOTE:  RYE MARKET HAS MOVED TO A NEW SITE!

 

Due to the sand causing degradation of the market site opposite the Rye Post Office, the Rye Foreshore Market IS MOVING TO A NEW SITE opposite the Rye Hotel (i.e. where the Rye Carnival is located over the Christmas holidays).

 

Next Markets at this site are: 

- Saturday 5 October

- Saturday 2 November (Cup Day long weekend)

Saturday Sausage Sizzle 

Outside Woolies at Rye 

 

Saturdays - 9 til 3

 

Local identity Pat 'the Sausage Man' adds his special Italian herbs and spices to create the sausage that regulars travel kms to enjoy! 

 

All proceeds from these fundraisers are ploughed back into projects that support needs within our local community. 

Rosebud 'Heart of the Community' Market

Rosebud Village Green

2nd Saturday of each month

 

Supporting Rosebud Primary School's Rosebud Market, our bacon & egg rolls, and sausages in bread, are very popular. 

 

Come and have a chat with us about Rotary..... by helping others, we're helping ourselves to cameraderie and friendship - and a great feeling that we're able to make a difference.
