RYLA = Rotary Youth Leadership Awards

 

 

The RYLA program is held worldwide involving young people who are chosen for their leadership potential to attend an all-expenses-paid seminar, camp, or workshop to discuss leadership skills and to learn those skills through practice. Rotary clubs and districts select participants and facilitate the event's curriculum.

The RYLA program enables young people to debate issues of professional responsibility and human relations, improve leadership and communication skills, learn about businesses and institutions, and meet Rotarians while having fun and making friends. For young adults, RYLA provides the opportunity to refine skills and explore pertinent topics with their peers and elders. For Rotarians, RYLA offers the chance to help develop leaders, share valuable expertise, and bridge the gap between generations.

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE OF THE RYLA PROGRAM

 

To give interested sophomores and juniors in Maui County the opportunity to participate in quality leadership training experiences and activities.  These activities will be led by dedicated Rotarians who will guide the campers in understanding the principles of effective leadership.
