RYLA

Please join me in welcoming our guest speaker today, Linda Yates.  Linda is district 6450's RYLA chairperson.  Also joining us today are Oak Forest's Interact Club's co-presidents Kelly Gorney and Mallory Lampasona. 

Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) is Rotary's leadership training program for young people. RYLA participants can be ages 14-30, but most clubs and districts choose to focus on a narrower age range, such as 14-18 or 19-30.

RYLA emphasizes leadership, citizenship, and personal growth, and 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
