With a focus on communities, Rotary does much to impact young people in many ways.  Here in York, the Rotary Club recognizes the talents of the youth in our community with the Annual York Pride Program.  It is truly a celebration of the accomplishments of outstanding students in York County.

The York Rotary Club began this tradition in 2002 and it has become a favorite program as they look forward to enjoying the results of years of hard work and practice demonstrated by students of all ages. Rotarians are always dazzled by the performances of these young people.  It is an exhilarating experience for the entire audience each year!

This year's program featured a wide range of talents, including vocal and instrumental selections, plus various types of dance.  Everything from classical music to Broadway show tunes made this program a spectacular showcase!
