SFTL stands for Seminar for Tomorrow\u2019s Leaders. An SFTL participant is selected by his or her local Rotary Club to attend a camp designed to build character, leadership, personal development and good citizenship. SFTL also focuses on service and Rotary\u2019s role in building stronger communities by emphasizing local and global citizenship.<\/p>\n

SFTL stresses the fundamentals and ethics of good leadership, problem solving, team building, and the importance of positive self-confidence and self-esteem. To advance leadership skills, one must put themselves in situations that will methodically train them to be a better leader.<\/p>\n

Specific programs and activities have been carefully chosen to do just that. In addition to the leadership activities, there are lots of fun activities and social events. Are these goals you would like to achieve for yourself?<\/p>\n
