ROVA: What is it?
Sponsored by Rotary District 7280, the vocational curriculum leading to ROVA gives career and technical students a career pathway to college, employment or the military ever since 2003, and Lawrence County Career and Technical Center has been there every year! A select group of high school juniors from local career centers - chosen for their potential - are awarded the opportunity to attend this leadership seminar sponsored by the following local rotaries: Ellwood City, Mohawk, New Castle, and New Wilmington. Leadership skills are developed with physical, team-oriented activities during the 1-1/2 day program.
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF ROVA?
Demonstrate the respect Rotary District 7280 has for youth who are potential leaders attending a Vocational Education Program.
Provide a positive training experience for selected youth and potential leaders.
Encourage leadership of youth by youth.
Recognize publicly young people who are rendering service to their communities, their peers, and their school.
ROVA's CORE CURRICULUM: Though students may not have realized it at that moment, they did learn a lot. Here is ROVA's core curriculum.
With as rigorous as this curriculum is, there are so many OTHER valuable lessons: As reported by Dalton Dilling, from the ROVA Class of 2015: "I made so many great memories and new friends. I came out of my comfort zone, I learned so many things, and I laughed harder than I have in a long time. I wouldn't trade this experience for the world!"
