Youth Message
RYLA is back LIVE in 2022 - Mark your calendars for Saturday, May 21st - 9:30 AM - 6:00 PM.
As we transition out of the pandemic, we couldn't be more excited to announce that RYLA will be held in person this year at Upham Woods in WI Dells for a one-day event filled with leadership training, fellowship, and fun! AND for 1/2 the cost - $100 per student. Click HERE to learn more.
Our Calls to Action for Clubs:
As you know, in Rotary, we understand that cultivating a diverse, equitable, and inclusive culture is essential to realizing our vision of a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change.
We value diversity and celebrate the contributions of people of all backgrounds, across age, ethnicity, race, color, disability, learning style, religion, faith, socioeconomic status, culture, marital status, languages spoken, sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity as well as differences in ideas, thoughts, values, and beliefs. We recognize that individuals from certain groups have historically experienced barriers to participation and leadership.
AND here is what we are asking of you:
For the selection process this year, we ENCOURAGE clubs to partner with other local organizations in their community that support youth (Boys and Girls Clubs, Big Brothers Big Sisters, etc.) and utilize the cost savings this year to fund more students to attend RYLA.
We also encourage Rotarians to join us on staff this year. Since it is only a ONE day event, we are hopeful that the commitment will allow Rotarians that haven't had a chance to serve now have the opportunity! Click here to apply: https://forms.gle/FSYsAGUHuLosyGCHA
We look forward to another AMAZING RYLA experience for young people in our district. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us!
Your RYLA Team,
Ben Bauer, Michelle McGrath, Zach Zellner, Suzanne Imhoff
