Taste of RYLA

We know you’ve always wanted to attend the RYLA Conference!!! So here is an opportunity to experience RYLA! Many of you have witnessed first hand the excitement and joy that Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) has distilled on past RYLArians (past participants).

They always struggle to articulate what it was from the week long, self-discovery journey that managed to change their life and have such a profound impact on their lives in such a short time!

 

Would you like to discover some of the RYLA secrets and get a taste of the course that has changed so many young lives for the better? We are offering all Rotarians and partners/friends the opportunity to be part of a mini RYLA and take away the same excitement and joy, in the hope that your experience will assist you in finding RYLA candidates. We run Taste of RYLA annually, normally in August.
