The Annual Outstanding Phoenix Youth Leader (OPYL) of the Year program is a partnership between Phoenix Rotary 100 and the City of Phoenix. This program recognizes and honors the outstanding achievements of young people, enhances the perception of youth, and raises community awareness of the positive contributions of youth. Our own members helped throughout the judging process - both reading essays from entrants and serving as judges at the in-person panel interviews to determine this year's winners. High school students were selected as council district winners and will be recognized, along with the teacher who inspired them the most, at the awards luncheon during our Club meeting on Friday, May 3. Each of the district winners will receive a cash award. From the city's district winners, the two overall winners will be announced and each will receive an additional cash award during the luncheon! Please join us on Friday, May 3 at the Phoenix Country Club for our Annual OPYL program.
This event will be held at the Phoenix Country Club on Friday, May 3, 2024, from 12pm to 1:30pm.

Rotarians are leaders in their vocation, profession and community. We meet weekly to discuss improving the lives of people, both locally and globally. We need and encourage diversity of membership in order to be more effective in this task. The Rotary motto is “Service Above Self” and Rotary is an organization of over 33,000 local clubs serving their communities around the world.
Phoenix Rotary 100 was founded in 1914 as the 100th club to join Rotary. Through the years, Phoenix Rotary 100 has been at the forefront of community service in Phoenix and beyond, with a past and present membership list reading like Who’s Who in the State’s history. Mayors, governors, U.S. senators and one Supreme Court Justice have all been a part of Phoenix Rotary 100. Other famous Rotarians include: Neil Armstrong, Walt Disney, Thomas Edison, Dianne Feinstein, Gerald Ford, John F. Kennedy, Charles Mayo, J.C. Penney, Manny Pacquaio, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Charles Walgreen, Sam Walton, Woodrow Wilson and Orville Wright, to name just a few.
As Rotarian Winston Churchill once said, “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.”
