Rotary Zones 25/26 Ethics Task Force
Chair: PDG Roy Massey
Vision: The vision of the R.I. Director's Ethics Task Force is to establish and implement an Ethics resource initiative initially for the benefit of Rotary districts within Zones 25 and 26 during 2007-2009. In addition, it is envisioned that the Ethics Task Force will provide methods for use by districts to encourage ethics-emphasis particularly within their Interact and RYLA programs. A longer term vision is to develop and successfully implement a model which might be adaptable for use by Rotary clubs everywhere.

It is based on a survey of nearly 30,000 students in high schools across the United States. NOTE: This 'Report Card' is NOT associated with the Ethics Initiative of our Zones. However, past surveys of JI stimulated the idea to make Youth Ethics a major initiative in our Zones during 2007-2009. 12 of our districts are serving as Pilot Districts, working in collaboration with a team from JI, to develop Ethics Training Modules for RYLA & Interact programs. The draft modules will be field-tested in RYLA programs during January-April 2009. 22-Jun-08 Bringing the 4-Way Test to Youth in RYLA & Interact - a Pilot Project of our Zones (2354 KB) The Josephson Institute of Ethics' Assessment & Report on the role of Ethics in RYLA and Interact with recommendations for future action. 30-Mar-08 District Commitment Form (18 KB) Commitment form for Districts to sign to participate in the Youth Ethics Initiative. 30-Mar-08 Ethics Initiative Brochure (163 KB) Brochure describing the our Zones Youth Ethics Initiative 26-Feb-08 Bringing the 4-Way Test to Youth (263 KB) Abstract 26-Feb-08 Bringing the 4-Way Test to Youth (681 KB) Main Text 26-Feb-08 Bringing the 4-Way Test to Youth (292 KB) Appendix 1 Telephone Interview Questions 26-Feb-08 Bringing the Rotary 4-Way Test to Youth (537 KB) Appendix 2: Adult Survey 26-Feb-08 Bringing the Rotary 4-Way Test to Youth (476 KB) Appendix 3: Youth Survey 26-Feb-08 Bringing the Rotary 4-Way Test to Youth (1213 KB) Appendix 4 and 5: Adult and Youth Survey Data Tables 26-Feb-08 Bringing the Rotary 4-Way Test to Youth - (613 KB) Appendix 6: Summary Adult and Youth Survey written responses. 8-Nov-07 The Four Way Test Rotarian Michael Boyer has started a web site to spread the word on the Four Way Test.
