 Asthma Foundation Car
Youngtown Rotary Club has been involved in providing the Asthma Foundation in Launceston with at least 6 replacement cars over a 20 year period.
The Asthma Foundation of Tasmania has 3 educators, one in each region of the State who are responsible for delivering educations programmes, training and information to the community. The ongoing support of the Rotary Club enables the Foundation to continually deliver these programmess to the North of the State.

 Youngtown Primary School
The club has been actively involved with the Youngtown Primary School over many years. We have provided such facilities as a shade area to protect the children from the sun, safety fencing around the school and financial assistance to repaint the underpass at Hobart Road after vandals had painted “unsavoury” graffiti.
Adopt-A-Highway Project
Adopt-A-Highway is an initiative of the Tasmanian Department of Transport and is a programme where community organisations such as Rotary can assist by undertaking litter patrols. Our Adopt-A-Highway is the Kings Meadows Connector, which we clean on a regular basis.
Suicide Prevention Centre
Youngtown Rotary was approached to replace an aged and unsafe decking at the Youth Suicide Prevention Centre. This work was carried out over several weekends with supplies donated by local Launceston businesses.
Franklin House
Youngtown Rotary was approached by the Franklin House Trust to renovate one of the historic garden sheds in the gardens at Franklin House at Youngtown.
 Ronald McDonald House Stairwell Refurbishment
Youngtown Rotary was approached to replace damaged carpet on a stairwell, which had become very dangerous for the people staying at Ronald McDonald House in Hobart. Our club raised the necessary funds from Rotary Clubs within the 03 telephone area and proceeded to have the job finalised. A cheque is being presented on behalf the the Rotary clubs to a representative of Ronald McDonald House.
