What is RYLA?
 The Rotary Youth
Leadership Award (RYLA) is a challenging 7 day programme which
provides a unique opportunity for leadership skills
development.
Rotary is seeking young people
between the ages of 18 and 28 who have the talent, energy and
motivation to discover their leadership potential!
 RYLA events are for
young adults with proven leadership experience and potential
leaders from diverse backgrounds. Whether you are a secondary
school student, university student, or young professional, RYLA
provides a unique opportunity to learn, grow, have fun, and make
new friends. The RYLA experience prepares young people to be
leaders in their community, profession, and other facets of
everyday life.
The seminar program has a strong
focus on personal and leadership development. It will assist
participants to become aware of their own strengths and weaknesses,
to understand the basics of leadership and to apply this knowledge
to develop their leadership capabilities.
Who should
attend?
RYLA provides a broad range of
experiences to rapidly assist your personal growth.
RYLA graduates are able
to:
-
define their personal values
and ambitions more clearly,
-
promote themselves, their
ideas, and their values more effectively,
-
inspire themselves and others
to achieve goals, and
