Rotary Youth Leadership Award (RYLA)
RYLA is a Rotary Club initiative designed for 18 to 25 years olds.
In the 2nd week of the April school holidays RYLA-a week long live-in
seminar, is held in Adelaide, usually somewhere in the beautiful
Adelaide Hills. The week is action packed, full of inspirational
guest speakers who talk about self esteem, values, personality, power
of the mind, team building, situational leadership, goal setting, time
management, public speaking, communication, debating and more.
Leadership skills are acquired throughout the week by way of games and
activities, instructed by the 5 mentors (who are all previous
awardees). You will meet many new people and make life long
friends. All food and accommodation is provided, and some travel
expenses will be reimbursed. Belinda Foureur and Abby King of
Port Lincoln attended the 2006 RYLA and found it to be a fantastic and
worthwhile experience.
A similar program designed for 14-17 year olds called RYPEN is held
each year also, over a weekend, usually in April.
