The Power of a Story. The Strength of a Generation.
In a world of shrinking attention spans, this program teaches students to pause, reflect, and speak from the soul.
Writing becomes a mirror. A megaphone. A milestone.
“My Laws of Life essay was more than just a school paper — it was the story of me and the story of my becoming.” – Moatapari Agbere, 1st Runner-Up
The Challenge — And Why It’s Time to Act
For more than two decades, Georgia Rotary has been the foundation of the Georgia Laws of Life Essay Contest—our champions, our partners, and the reason we’ve reached more than 871,000 students.
But here’s the challenge.
Because Rotary Clubs are so central to our story, many assume the contest is fully funded. It’s not—and that assumption holds us back.
To grow, reach more students, and position for the future, we need to widen the circle of support—without losing sight of where we started.
That’s what Bridge to the Future is: a bold, three-year campaign to sustain what Georgia Rotary Clubs built—so this life-changing program can reach future generations.
One student, one story, and one commitment at a time.
