About RYLA
 |
Each year, thousands of young people
take part in the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) program
worldwide. |
Young people ages 14-30 chosen for their
leadership potential attend an all-expenses-paid seminar, camp, or
workshop to discuss leadership skills and to learn those skills through
practice. Rotary clubs and districts select participants and facilitate
the event's curriculum.
RYLA aims to:
-
Demonstrate Rotary's respect and concern
for youth;
-
Provide an effective training experience
for selected youth and potential
leaders;
-
Encourage leadership of youth by youth;
and
-
Recognize publicly young people who are
rendering service to their communities.
RYLA was officially adopted by Rotary
International in 1971, and is one of the most
significant and fastest-growing programs of Rotary service. RYLA programs
often lead
to the formation or strengthening of Rotaract and Interact clubs. RYLA
participants often go on to become Youth Exchange students or
Ambassadorial Scholars.
For more
information about RYLA in your area,
contact your local Rotary club or your district RYLA chairperson.
