Rotary Leaders for the 21st Century is an annual leadership conference conducted at Hope College the second week of June for middle schoolers entering 7th and 8th grades who have been selected by their schools as potential emerging leaders. It continues with further engagement in regular follow-up meetings in the participating schools throughout the school year.
The original project was conceived as a joint program of the Ottawa County Life Services System, the Rotary Clubs of Holland and Zeeland, and the local school districts. Over the years, students from the Holland, West Ottawa, Zeeland, Holland Christian, Corpus Christi Catholic, and Fennville, and Muskegon Schools have participated.
