Rotary and Enactus collaboration
In 2024-2025, the Rotary Club of Guelph awarded the Enactus Guelph student club at the University of Guelph a grant towards their entrepreneurial sustainability project “Brewed Beauty”. This initiative repurposes used coffee grounds from campus kitchens as an ingredient in beauty products. This project went on to win Gold in the 2025 Enactus Regional competition, and Semi-Finalist in the Enactus National competition, competing against a total of 52 projects from across Canada.
Our motivation in supporting this student club is based on our club’s deep interest in providing vocational service to young people.
In an exciting development, our club is now collaborating with this student team to cross-sell their Brewed Beauty products at various markets alongside our club’s “Good Coffee For A Better World.”
Furthermore, we aim to enhance our club's offer of vocational support to Enactus Guelph by helping to identify motivational speakers and valuable community connections, whilst also introducing them to the Rotaract student club at the university to seek and support potential synergies between them.
