The committee works in conjunction with Rylerians and a youth agency (i.e. FAYS) to plan a camp over weekends. This gives disadvantaged youth an opportunity to experience different reactions to their behaviour, receive positive reinforcement and be involved in positive conflict resolution. Australian Student Mineral Venture (ASMV) The Australian Student Mineral Venture scheme encompasses a regionally based series of "summer schools" held in January each year focused on giving an introduction to the minerals industry to senior secondary schools (years 10, 11, 12). Its structure is not dissimilar to the NYSF, although it is not a Rotary-sponsored project. The ventures have been run succesfully since 1994. Details can be found at: www.asmv.org. |
