What is STRIVE? STRIVE is a program where a Rotary Club works with a high school for the purpose of motivating students to improve their school performance during their senior year. The major aspect of the program is that it is Student Driven and only facilitated by Rotarians. This program is FUN, INTERACTIVE, and will involve each and every Rotarian!

The students are typically the lower one-third of the senior class. These students are identified by the high school. Since STRIVE is a voluntary program, the student and the parent(s) are asked to sign a commitment form. Once enrolled in the STRIVE program, the students are encouraged to improve their:
  • Attendance
  • Attitude
  • GPA
  • Participation
This program works! If you are interested in your club starting a STRIVE program contact John Cole at 440-774-4534 or jc1040@oberlin.net.
