One of the most rewarding things Rotary does is invest in the next generation of leaders through RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Awards).

Each year, RYLA provides students with an unforgettable opportunity to develop leadership skills, build confidence, make lifelong friendships, and discover their potential to make a difference in the world around them.

A special thank you to our outstanding RYLA Chairperson, Jennifer Vanasse, for her dedication and passion for this program. Jennifer works tirelessly to ensure local students have the opportunity to participate in this life-changing experience. Her commitment to our youth and to Rotary's mission of developing future leaders is truly inspiring.

Thank you, Jennifer, for helping shape the leaders of tomorrow! 💙💛

The South Brunswick Islands Rotary Club is proud to have built and installed a Beach Toy Library at the Ocean Isle Beach Community Center.

The idea is simple: families can borrow beach toys for a day of fun in the sand and return them when they're finished so others can enjoy them too. It's a great way to encourage sharing, reduce waste, and make beach days a little more enjoyable for everyone.

Projects like this may seem small, but they help strengthen our community and create smiles for residents and visitors alike.

A special thank you to all the Rotarians who helped bring this project to life. We hope the Beach Toy Library provides years of fun for children and families visiting Ocean Isle Beach! 🏖️🪣🌊

One of South Brunswick Islands Rotary’s favorite days of the year! 📚💙

SBI Rotary members had the joy of visiting Jessie Mae Monroe Elementary to hand out books to students—and there’s nothing better than seeing the excitement on the kids’ faces when they realize they’re getting books to take home and keep as their very own.

The biggest reaction of the day may have belonged to the 2nd grade crowd when Flat Stanley made an appearance—it definitely earned some cheers! 🎉📖

Moments like these remind us that something as simple as a book can spark imagination, build confidence, and inspire a lifelong love of reading.

Thank you to everyone who helps make this tradition possible. Investing in our students and encouraging literacy is one of the many ways Rotary works to strengthen our community.

South Brunswick Islands Rotary was blessed to spend Saturday with Brunswick County students and their families helping send kids off for summer with a little extra confidence and support. 👟☀️

Together, we enjoyed a special day shopping for new shoes at Rack Room Shoes in Shallotte—followed by what may have been everyone’s favorite part… sharing lunch together at Five Guys! 🍔

More than shoes and lunch, it was about spending time together, building connections, and creating smiles and memories to start the summer season.

Thank you to everyone who helped make the day possible and to the families who shared part of their weekend with us. Wishing all of our students a fun, safe, and amazing summer! 💙💛
