Ryan Jantzen joined the Rotary Club of Folsom in 1994. Ryan is the current Assistant Governor for Area 3 (Folsom and El Dorado Hills) and Blood Drive Chair for the District. He is a past president of Folsom Rotary and has served many Board positions for his club. He loves triathlon training and cold plunging and has a passion for service and connecting with others. He has been nicknamed "Mr. Motivation" and loves to help people "live outside of their comfort zone" and push past their fears.
Ryan Jantzen, spoke about the Area 3 Leadership program for high school juniors. Laurie Edwards and Don Fuller attended the last sessions as mentors and were blown away by the quality of the event. One was conducted at the Hills Church that included Oak Ridge and Ponderosa High, while another was held at Green Valley Church and included Union Mine and El Dorado High School. This program was sponsored by the Folsom Rotary Club and the Placerville Rotary Club.
The all-day program uses teams of eight juniors and eight mentors, each with an adult facilitator. The afternoon program includes presentations by various professionals such as doctors, engineers, financial people and lawyers to allow students to ask questions and consider what careers they may want to pursue.
