The Invisible Battlefield Veterans Face
Many Veterans face a complex battleground after service, struggling with mental health challenges like PTSD, Military Sexual Trauma (MST) and suicidal ideation. Alarmingly, VA data suggests a potential link, with 75-95% of Veterans with PTSD exhibiting substance abuse issues and suggests that this population is much more vulnerable to suicidal ideation.

# of Veteran Post-Treatment Facilities Specializing in PTSD Treatment

Most Veterans that are discharged from inpatient alcohol and drug treatment facilities will not have a plan in place to treat their PTSD. Shockingly, there were no post-treatment facilities specializing in co-occurring PTSD for Veterans - until Bravo Zulu House.
Thus, Bravo Zulu House was born: America's FIRST sober living home specifically for Veterans with PTSD. We aim to establish tranquil sanctuaries for Veterans striving to overcome addiction, offering more than just safe harbor.
These Veterans-only facilities provide a supportive, home-like setting where residents gain strength through a common bond. It integrates formal therapies and counseling with dog therapy, and hydroponic gardening, treating the whole person, addressing the invisible wounds of their service to restore our heroes.

Do you have what it takes to become a dynamic leader and change yourself and the world?
Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) is an intensive leadership experience organized by Rotary clubs and districts where you develop your skills as a leader while having fun and making connections.
What are the benefits?
Connect with leaders in your community and around the world to:
Build communication and problem-solving skills
Discover strategies for becoming a dynamic leader in your school or community
Learn from community leaders, inspirational speakers, and peer mentors
Unlock your potential to turn motivation into action

What’s involved?
RYLA events are organized locally by Rotary clubs and districts for participants ages 14-30. Depending on community needs, RYLA may take the form of a one-day seminar, a three-day retreat, or a weeklong camp. Typically, events last 3-10 days and include presentations, activities, and workshops covering a variety of topics.
Your community might host a RYLA event for secondary school students to hone their leadership potential, for university students to develop creative problem-solving strategies, or for young professionals to learn ethical business practices.
How can I participate?
RYLA participants are nominated by local Rotary clubs. Contact your local Rotary club to find out more about RYLA events in your area, how to apply, and any costs of getting involved.

Public Image
Rotary's public image is what people outside of Rotary think of when they hear our name. But name recognition is just the start. Our public image is shaped by the actions of our members, the activities we engage in, the impact we have, and more.
A strong public image promotes trust and encourages people to engage with us. We can help build our public image by sharing stories that show us as people of action and inspire others to get involved.
​
Promoting Rotary to the general public can be as simple as wearing your Rotary pin or as elaborate as organizing an integrated marketing campaign. By increasing the public's understanding of Rotary, we're strengthening our ability to make an impact in communities around the world.
