• To promote an environment that will provide each individual with a basis for insight and understanding for intelligent leadership.
• To expose the youth leaders to some opportunities and challenges of life in a free democratic society.
• To promote involvement that encourages the participants to think through and arbitrate conflicts of values.
• To introduce youth leaders to Rotary principles and Rotary youth programs.
