Laws of Life
Plan Ahead for 2024-25 Laws of Life Contest

With the Peach State PETS experience under their belts, Rotary Club President-Elects are mapping out their 2024-25 year. Now is the time to confirm high school partners for the 2024-25 Georgia Laws of Life Essay Contest. Together, local Rotary Clubs and the Georgia Laws of Life state office offer this character education program, free of charge, to high schools throughout the state.

High schools from Hartwell to Columbus make the Laws of Life contest an integral part of their English Language Arts curriculum. Students love the contest as it offers them an opportunity to reflect and tell heartfelt stories of joy and of challenges. Teachers love the contest because they get to know their students on a deeper level. The contest also provides healthy competition among students.

The Laws of Life contest offers your club an inspiring, turnkey program with flexible volunteer hours opportunities. The contest allows clubs to support key Rotary causes including Support for Education and Promoting Peace by fostering conversations among students and teachers. Many Rotarians across Georgia share that their favorite meeting is when they celebrate student winners from their partner schools. Students feel a boost of confidence as they read their Laws of Life essays for a friendly audience of club members, teachers and parents.

The GLL state office provides resources for your Rotary club in an online folder: prospect letter templates, contest talking points, and info flyers for clubs and schools. On our GLL YouTube Channel, look for 2022-23 Student Winners and the Teacher Experiences playlists to hear firsthand testimonials.

For complete program info, contact the Georgia Laws of Life team at lawsoflife@georgialawsoflife.org.
