What is RYLA?


The Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) program seeks to provide young adults, ages 14-30, with an opportunity to develop their skills and character while exposing them to Rotary’s values of service, high ethical standards, and peace.


RYLAs can be conducted at the club, district, or multidistrict level and usually run from 3 to 10 days. While they can take many different shapes, most RYLAs follow a seminar or leadership camp format.
