Each year thousands of young people take part in the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) program worldwide. Young people are chosen for their leadership potential to attend workshops to discuss leadership skills and to learn those skills through practice. RYLA aims to:

  • Demonstrate Rotary’s respect and concern for youth
  • Provide an effective training experience for selected youth who are potential leaders
  • Encourage leadership of youth by youth
  • Publicly recognize young people who are rendering service to their communities
  • Help participants develop independent thinking and understanding of themselves

Join us for our Rotary District 6450 In-Person RYLA at the Holiday Home Camp in Williams Bay, WI.

You will experience team-building activities with other students from across Illinois, as well as a handful of exchange students from around the globe. Throughout the weekend, you will work in a variety of small groups as you solve puzzles, hone your leadership and communication style, and learn new ways to affect change.

This fun, interactive weekend is filled with sessions and activities to boost your team building, leadership, communication, and self-reflection skills. Do not miss this unique opportunity to learn more about yourself and others!
