RYLA -- in Fairbanks

It is that time of year again!  We are actively recruiting for participants in this year's RYLA event scheduled for March 23 - 26 in Fairbanks.  I am asking your help to distribute this application to any current sophomore or junior that you think might be interested in attending - or pass it on to someone you know who interacts with youth in this age category.  Our club will sponsor 1 (possibly 2) youth to attend the event this year.

This is a great opportunity for a youth to meet many new peers, develop some leadership skills, get introduced to Rotary and get excited about doing more for their community. 

We are looking for Grade 10 and 11 students who are not overextended and would MOST benefit from the RYLA opportunity.  These students need not be current leaders such as a student body president or other elected leadership position.  They just need to be great teens that are of strong character with positive attitudes, have an interest in attending and will benefit from and contribute to the event.  In particular, we want to identify students who have not had the opportunities to participate in a leadership event like this in the past.

COST? Transportation and Registration Fees are paid by the local sponsoring Rotary Club. There is no cost to applicants for participation. However, some spending money for incidentals is advised.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or to give out my contact info to anyone that seems interested and wants more information.

Thanks for your help to distribute this application!  Applications are due to me by March 1, 2017 and can be emailed or dropped off at the CACS office in town
