Justin Phillips 2013-16 Youth Services Chair
Justin Phillips from the Westport Sunrise Rotary Club will assume full Chair responsibilities for Youth Services (formerly known as New Generations) beginning July 1st. He steps in the shoes of outgoing New Generation Chair Julie Reppenhagen and outgoing Youth Exchange Chair Alan Hurst as he consolidates and focuses this newer avenue of service even more.
Justin has been instrumental in launching the Advanced RYLA program for the district and has been woking tirelessly with Youth since joining Rotary. He was a Rotary Exchange Student 1991-1992 in Sao Paulo Brazil.
Justin is a Pilot for United Airlines and earned his Bachelor of Science (University of Oregon) and his Commercial Flight & Ground Instructor (Flight Safety Academy).
Youth Services is the 5th Avenue in Service in Rotary and was known as New Generations until it was recently renamed by the Council of Legislation. Given their important role, youth and young adults are a critical focus for Rotary clubs — a means of fulfilling the Object of Rotary and truly fostering the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise in young individuals the world over. Whether it’s through Interact, Rotaract, Rotary Youth Exchange, or Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA), Rotary’s youth programs provide young people an opportunity to develop their character and embrace new experiences while exposing them to the organization’s values of service, high ethical standards, and peace.
