A big part of Rotary is our dedication to the next generation. The Rotary Youth Leadership Academy (RYLA) is a District 7080 retreat focused on leadership skill development. We sponsored three youth to participate from Thursday April 30 to Sunday May 3, 2026 at the Ecology Retreat Centre in Orangeville. Our own Chris-Beth was a co-facilitator of RYLA 2026 and it was great that she is heavily involved in this program again after being a previous RYLA graduate and leader. President John and President Elect Suzanne joined the youth for their networking event and dinner on the last evening of their program. We could see how much the RYLArians learned over a few days together. Their passion and enthusiasm was contagious. This is a powerful program that serves a vital need in our community. Congratulations to the 2026 graduating RYLArians!
