RYLA is Rotarians working with youth in leadership development. Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) is an intensive training program for youth aiming to be leaders in our community.
Young people ages 18-25, chosen for their leadership potential, attend a 7 day camp, organised by Rotarians with records of achievement.
Australia needs to develop youth leaders with the confidence in themselves, a capacity to provide positive role models and proactive leadership to others. The impact of the program spreads further as the program awardees influence other young people.
Ryla Objectives
The Rotary Youth Leadership Course is intended to assist participants to:
- Develop their personal effectiveness and self confidence.
- Develop leadership skills as well as the capacity to contribute effectively as team members.
- Gain a wider understanding of the challenges that present themselves in a changing society.
- Learn
ways in which to make a positive contribution to society.
Responsibilities of Participants
Each person nominated by a club is responsible to that club for their participation in the whole of the week and for their behavior.
Participants will be expected to abide by camp regulation and a code of behavior based on common sense and courtesy to fellow participants.
The course is an intensive live-in programme and its success will depend on active participation by all. Awardees will thus not be allowed to commute nor to leave the camp precincts except in the case of exceptional circumstances.
All personal expenses such as toiletries, drinks and snacks, telephone use etc. are the participants responsibility.
Casual clothing is required for most activities.
A kit-list will be mailed with final seminar instructions to all participants.
Following
successful completion of the course, Awardees are invited to address their
sponsoring Rotary Club(s).
