STRIVE (Students Taking a Renewed Interest in the Value of Education) is a mentoring program. North Coast Rotary Club in collaboration with local high schools offers select and willing students an opportunity to work with Rotarians and community and business leaders. The goal is to assist students in improving their academic performance and preparing for their future. In many years, STRIVE students who are seniors and have improved the most have qualified for Rotary scholarships of $1,000 each.
Because each year, schools evaluate their needs and support for the STRIVE program, STRIVE is not always operational in each High School. North Coast Rotary Club’s STRIVE program history has been:
