RYLA South 2010 Candidate Chosen

Posted by Mike Storey 
 

We have chosen Patricia Chu to attend RYLA South this year at Camp Jubilee. This is a Rotary program designed for youth ages 16 - 18 and can include your immediate family, friends, or any deserving young person.  To ensure that we are able to put on the best program possible for the deserving participants, we will not be extending this registration deadline.

We will still be looking for another candidate for RYLA Lakelse (ages 14 - 15) being held in July this year.

Rotary Youth Leadership Award
What's RYLA?

Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) is an intensive training program for community youth leaders. Young people chosen for their leadership potential attend an all-expenses-paid seminar to discuss leadership skills and to hone those skills through practice.

RYLA's Purpose

  • 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
The Value of RYLA

  • Enables every Rotary Club to acknowledge service to the community of two or more young people annually
  • enthuses young leaders and provides them with enhanced leadership techniques
  • Exposes a large number of young people, their families and their peer groups, to Rotary ideals of Service
  • Is a complimentary program to other Rotary youth activities and has been instrumental in the formation of Rotaract clubs
