Junior Quota Club Youth Mentoring Program

Quotarians are characterized by their leadership, love of service, and commitment to others, which provide the energy and resources that allow Quota International to have an impact on communities around the globe. These are the same characteristics that our young people must inherit to ensure that as they grow into adults, they continue to make our world a better place to live. To ensure that a legacy of service is passed on to the next generation, young people—particularly those who are experiencing disadvantaged circumstances—need caring, supportive role models and mentors.

Quota's Junior Club model seeks to provide those role models by connecting sponsoring Quota clubs with local youth, particularly those who are disadvantaged. Sponsorship involves helping young people govern their own club and providing the advising and support to help junior members develop leadership skills and perform meaningful service work. The program can have a powerful influence, not only on youth, but also on the sponsoring club that works together to develop service projects, offer support, and welcome the youthful spirit of new junior members! Ultimately, young people will grow committed to service, their communities, and to our organization, making Junior Quota Clubs a valuable pipeline for citizens committed to public service and to Quota International.

If your club is seeking an opportunity to build new connections in the community, grow in its reach and membership, and add a burst of energy to existing programs and youth who would benefit from your special Quota guidance, mentoring, and support, we encourage you to connect with local youth to build a Junior Quota Club. By using the guides and tips below, sponsoring a junior club will have a tremendous impact on local youth, your own club, the surrounding community...and the world.
