The Rotary Youth Leadership Award (RYLA)

Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) is an intensive leadership experience organized by Rotary clubs and districts where you develop your skills as a leader while having fun and making connections.

What are the benefits?

Connect with leaders in your community and around the world to:

  • Build communication and problem-solving skills
  • Discover strategies for becoming a dynamic leader in your school or community
  • Learn from community leaders, inspirational speakers, and peer mentors
  • Unlock your potential to turn motivation into action
  • Have fun and form lasting friendships

What’s involved?

RYLA events are organized locally by Rotary clubs and districts for participants ages 18-30. Depending on community needs, RYLA may take the form of a one-day seminar, a three-day retreat, or a week long camp. Typically, events last 3-10 days and include presentations, activities, and workshops covering a variety of topics.

Rotary Mawson Lakes supports young residents of the northern suburbs to attend RYLA programs. Students report back to the club about their growth in confidence, team work and negotiation skills.
