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
