Rotary
Youth Leadership Award (RYLA)
Each year, thousands of young people take part in the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA)
program worldwide. Young people ages 14-30 chosen for their leadership potential 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.
RYLA aims to:
- Demonstrate Rotary's respect and concern for youth
- Provide an effective training experience for selected youth and potential leaders
- Encourage leadership of youth by youth
- Recognize publicly young people who are rendering service to their communities
RYLA was
officially adopted by Rotary International in 1971, and is one of the most significant and
fastest-growing programs of Rotary service. RYLA programs often lead to the formation or
strengthening of Rotaract and Interact clubs. RYLA participants often go on to become Youth
Exchange students or Ambassadorial Scholars. For more information about RYLA in your area, contact
your local Rotary club or your district RYLA chairperson.
You will find a complete list of institutes on the German page.
