Leaders For The 21st Century
 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.

Life Leadership Conference
District 6290 Life Leadership ConferenceThe Life Leadership Conference works to encourage students to be more effective servant leaders. It is not a conference intended to teach leadership skills (It is assumed that the students in attendance already possess those skills); however, the following topics naturally arise in the course of Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) activities and discussions.
Our Life Leadership Conference (LLC) has impacted more than 7,200 youth leaders since its creation in 1949. Rotary District 6290 looks each year for high school students who are outstanding school and/or community leaders with a strong service background to apply.
The Holland area Rotary Clubs usually provide 8 scholarships for the conference.
