About ROTARY Adventures in Health Care
The Purpose
The purpose of Adventures in Health Care is to help young people explore the wide range of careers within the health care system and connect them with the educational pathways that lead from curiosity to career.
Our Mission
Adventures in Health Care, a Rotary youth leadership initiative, is a youth-focused, experiential learning program that introduces vetted high school students to career and educational pathways in the health care sector. Entering its tenth year in 2026, this community collaboration addresses critical workforce challenges in rural and northern British Columbia by helping students to learn more about themselves and post-secondary education and employment options in health sciences.
Initially spearheaded by the Rotary Club of Prince George Yellowhead in 2017, this multi-day, in-person program has grown to four locations in Northern British Columbia. Each Rotary community partner plays a key role in program design, delivery, and resource support. Together, these organizations provide students with immersive, hands-on experiences that engage the youth.
The Team
The team of individual organizations varies from community to community but in general is headed by the Rotary club in each community plus the School District, Health Authority and local post secondary educational insitutions
