RYLA

 
RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Awards) is an awesome opportunity for students to learn leadership skills over a weekend in a camp setting. Youth are selected based on the demonstration of leadership potential and a desire to be of service to their local and global communities. Students network with students from other schools and become empowered through challenging courses, inspirational presenters and amazing activities.
 
At RYLA participants:
•    Develop skills as a leader while having fun and making connections.
•    Build communication and problem-solving skills.
•    Discover strategies for becoming a dynamic leader in their school or community.
•    Learn from community leaders, inspirational speakers, and peer mentors.
•    Unlock their potential to turn motivation into action.
•    Have fun and form lasting friendships!

Our Rotary club supports both the high school RYLA program and the Jr. RYLA program for middle school students. The club funds multiple students to each camp and thoroughly enjoys the feedback and personal reactions from their experiences given when they come to report to our club.
