The Rotary Youth Leadership Award (RYLA) is a program organized by Rotary International aimed at developing leadership skills and promoting community service among young people. RYLA programs typically involve seminars, workshops, and outdoor activities designed to enhance participants' leadership abilities, communication skills, and problem-solving capabilities. The program often focuses on topics such as teamwork, ethics, and community engagement.
RYLA participants are usually young adults who are chosen for their leadership potential and commitment to service. They may be nominated by local Rotary clubs or selected through an application process. RYLA events are often organized at the district or regional level and bring together participants from various backgrounds and communities.
Overall, RYLA aims to empower young leaders to make a positive difference in their communities and the world at large, reflecting Rotary International's commitment to promoting peace, goodwill, and humanitarian service.
