Danielle Lawton, a senior at Coudersport High School, Speaks To Rotary
Coudersport Rotary Club was pleased to host speaker Danielle Lawton, a senior at Coudersport High School, at their January 8, 2024, meeting at A&W West End Grill.
Danielle, the president of the Interact Club at Coudersport Jr/Sr High School, attended Rotary Youth Leadership Academy (RYLA) in Maryland last summer.
She pointed out that most students didn’t know what Rotary does because a lot of schools don’t have Interact clubs.
Her first day at RYLA she learned about what Rotary is and does.
On Danielle’s second day at RYLA the 20 students attending RYLA did projects in groups of 5-6. They created posters on topics such as Recycling, Trees and Agriculture.
And on the third day they learned about life in villages in third world countries and Appalachia. They heard about their struggles and tried to come up with solutions, such as how to get water during a drought. There was also a special guest who spoke about issues in other countries, such as polio.
During RYLA, they learned about bonding, and how to be a leader. Danielle learned that you can’t lead unless people will follow. She said she learned a lot and had a lot of fun.
Thank you, Danielle, for speaking at our Club!
