RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Awards) is a life-changing leadership training program for youth in which leadership skills and principles are taught in an atmosphere of trust and respect. The purpose of both RYLA and Young RYLA is to assist potential youth leaders in methods of responsible and effective leadership. The goal is to help participants develop confidence! Many participants have said, "It was the best week of my life!"
