District 1020 - Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA)

What is RYLA about?

RYLA is Rotary's own program to encourage the development of future community and business leaders and succeeds by:

• helping them to find out who they are
• creating a testing environment for them to operate in
• challenging them both physically and mentally
• supporting them while they deal with fears that hold them back
• teaching them how to be effective servant leaders
• encouraging them to get involved in the wider world
• making it all fun

How do we do it?

By combining the best of outward bound activities with current best practice in leadership training all cumulating in a final overnight challenge to:

• put the future leaders under pressure
• apply the skills they have acquired during the week
• work effectively as a team when tired and stressed
• discover the benefits of delegation
• recognise and utilise skills in others
• work to tight deadlines
• understand the problems of leadership
• learn from their own mistakes
