Phase 2 of the Award-Winning Rotary Reefs Initiative

Overview
The award-winning Rotary Reefs program is expanding with an exciting new phase — Rotaract Reefs — a 5-day, hands-on environmental and humanitarian leadership experience in Bocas del Toro, Panama, designed for Rotaract students and young adults passionate about protecting our planet.

Participants will engage in reef restoration, rainforest conservation, Indigenous outreach, and global service — returning home as trained Rotaract Reef Ambassadors ready to educate, lead, and inspire change. This is a perfect opportunity for anyone considering a career in marine biology or environmental science. From snorkeling coral reefs to learning from global experts, participants gain real-world experience and career insight in one of the world’s most ecologically rich regions.

Interactors who are interested in applying to university programs in Marine Biology or Environmental Science are also invited to attend but must be accompanied by at least one parent, legal guardian, school chaperone, or Rotarian sponsor throughout the program.

Participation is limited to just 10 students. The next clinic will take place in June 2025. Early application is strongly encouraged.
