The Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) is a leadership recognition program where local Rotary Clubs and employers select young people who currently hold leadership positions, or have shown the potential to lead, either within the community or at work. It provides an opportunity to participate in a challenging week-long residential conference, where you will get to:

• Discover ways to become a better role model and to more adequately face decisions on important personal, work and social issues;
• Exchange ideas, opinions and plans with talented, energetic people like you, in a supportive atmosphere free from pressure and distraction;
• Develop close rapport with your local Rotary Club, acquainting you with a leading service organisation and with decision makers within your community.

Professional trainers and leading presenters offer a broad range of subjects crucial to your future leadership success.

• Some sessions may include:
• Living Your Best Image
• Emotional Intelligence
• Health & Wellbeing
• Career Planning and Goal Setting
• Effective Communication and Public Speaking

In addition to indoor programs, there are many outdoor activities to motivate and to help develop effective team work and develop interpersonal skills.
