REACH FOR THE FUTURE!

 

Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) is an intensive training program for emerging community youth leaders internationally. RYLA in Rotary District 6840 is a 6 day 5 night leadership retreat. You will learn invaluable skills such as teamwork, leadership, service, problem solving, and communication.

 
The program enables young people to debate problems of professional responsibility and human relations, learn about and possibly visit businesses or institutions, and encounter Rotarians – all while having fun and making friends. For members of the New Generations, RYLA affords the opportunity to refine skills and explore topics of interest to their age group; for Rotarians, the chance to help develop leaders and good citizens and bridge the gap between generations.
