Help RYLA Celebrate 25 Years

This year the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) celebrates 25 years as a Rotary program.  RYLA is Rotary's leadership training program for young people. RYLA participants can be ages 14-30, but most clubs and districts choose to focus on a narrower age range, such as 14-18 or 19-30.

RYLA emphasizes leadership, citizenship, and personal growth, and aims to

· Demonstrate Rotary's respect and concern for youth

· Provide an effective training experience for selected youth and potential leaders

· Encourage leadership of youth by youth

Recognize publicly young people who are rendering service to their communities

RYLA gives Rotarians the opportunity to mentor promising young leaders serving their own communities and beyond. Rotarians serve as resources for participants on the path to becoming professional and community leaders. In turn, RYLA can bring new energy to a Rotary district, inspire ideas for service, increase support of community service projects, and develop future Rotarians.
