Leadership isn’t just something you learn in a classroom. Sometimes it happens when you step outside your comfort zone, meet people who understand your challenges, and discover what you’re capable of.
Cody High School senior Parker Hein recently shared his experience attending RYLA, Rotary Youth Leadership Awards, and it sounds like the experience left quite an impression!
Parker learned new ways to lead and communicate, including how to lead without using his voice. Just as importantly, he discovered that many other students were navigating some of the same challenges he was, giving him the opportunity to build meaningful connections.
His review of the experience says it all: “The vibes were high!” And he “never wanted RYLA to end.” Parker is already hoping to return next year as a Junior Counselor.
Cody Rotary is proud to sponsor one student each summer for RYLA and YRYLA, helping local students develop confidence, leadership skills, and connections that can last well beyond the program. We also provide multiple scholarships to graduating seniors each year.
Know a student who would thrive at RYLA or YRYLA? Reach out to Cody Rotary. We’d love to help connect the next generation of Cody leaders with these opportunities.
