Do you have what it takes to become a dynamic leader and change yourself and the world?

Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) is an intensive leadership experience organized by Rotary clubs and districts where you develop your skills as a leader while having fun and making connections.

What are the benefits?

Connect with leaders in your community and around the world to:

   Build communication and problem-solving skills

   Discover strategies for becoming a dynamic leader in your school or community

   Learn from community leaders, inspirational speakers, and peer mentors

   Unlock your potential to turn motivation into action

   Have fun and form lasting friendships

   What’s involved?

RYLA events are organized locally by Rotary clubs and districts for participants ages 14-30. Depending on community needs, RYLA may take the form of a one-day seminar, a three-day retreat, or a weeklong camp. Typically, events last 3-10 days and include presentations, activities, and workshops covering a variety of topics.

Your community might host a RYLA event for secondary school students to hone their leadership potential, for university students to develop creative problem-solving strategies, or for young professionals to learn ethical business practices.

How can I participate?

The RYLA program in District 7780 is one of the most successful youth programs in this part of the country. We have a rich history of developing the young leaders in our district with a curriculum based on  building a lifetime of service.  
 
The RYLA curriculum relies heavily on an outdoor challenge course called COPE, which stands for Challenging Outdoor Personal Experience. This year, the campus that the RYLA program uses underwent some major construction, the start of a 5-year upgrade plan.  Much of the course had been in place for close to 20 years.
