Rotary District 5240 RYLA

Each year, thousands of young people take part in the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) program worldwide. Young people are chosen for their leadership potential to attend an all-expenses-paid camp 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:

  • Provide an effective training experience for selected youth and potential leaders;
  • Encourage leadership of youth by youth;
  • Encourage youth to make a difference in their communities through volunteer work and social responsibility; and
  • Demonstrate Rotary's respect and concern for youth.

The next RYLA leadership camp is April 18-21, 2013. The RYLA camp for District 5240 is held each year at Camp Ramah in Ojai.

Two high school students from Los Osos have been selected through the Morro Bay High School Interact Club, they will be sponsored by the Rotary Club of Los Osos.
