Decatur Rotary was very pleased to welcome seven leaders of outstanding Dekalb County Non-Profit
organizations to the Historic Dekalb Courthouse. All these organizations support causes that we hold dear: Literacy and
Youth-At-Risk. Each organization was able to tell its story and explain the
specific project that the Rotary grant supports. Those grants were made on two conditions - that the organization is in Dekalb County and has a specific project with
measurable objectives that supported one of our two causes:
Literacy: Our Rotary goal is to strengthen the
capacity of communities to support basic education and literacy, reduce gender
disparity in education, and increase adult literacy.
Youth-At-Risk: Rotary supports local non-profits that
help young people who are vulnerable for problem behaviors such as substance
abuse, school failure, and juvenile delinquency, along with mental health
disorders, such as depression and anxiety.
