THE ROTARY CLUB OF DENVER
BOARD OF DIRECTORS POLICY STATEMENT

“ASSETS FOR YOUTH”
Adopted January 19, 1999

The major focus of the Denver Rotary Club is and has been youth. Assets for Colorado Youth is a statewide program which promotes 40 Developmental Assets that are basic building blocks that help young people navigate successfully through childhood and adolescence.

The Denver Rotary Club supports the 40 Developmental Assets and adopts the Assets for Colorado Youth initiative. The 40 assets complement and apply not only to existing Denver Rotary youth programs, but also to Rotary’s 4-Way Test.

The Denver Rotary Club will promote the 40 Developmental Assets whenever possible, including in new member training, committees, the Keyway and from the podium at weekly meetings.

Each Rotary Youth Committee will analyze the potential impact the 40 Developmental Assets have on its program and prepare a plan to incorporate as many of the Assets as possible in the committee’s activities.

The Denver Rotary Club Foundation Grants Committee is encouraged to request information about the 40 Developmental Assets on its application and consider the Assets in their evaluation and recommendations.

Denver Rotary believes that all Rotarians are asset building and that all kids are our kids!
