Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) is Rotary International’s leadership training program for young people. Rotary District 7930 has a long-running annual program for high school students.
Mark your calendars! We are excited to share RYLA 2026 will be taking place May 15th-17th at Camp Rotary in Boxford, MA. This year’s group of students will experience a full weekend of learning, discovering, and connecting with each other. With how busy the end of year can be, make sure to save the date for RYLA 2025 before everyone's schedules fill up!
Please share the date with your Interactors and other students now as the spring can be a very busy season for them. We would also love to come and speak to your Rotary or Interact Club. Please reach out to Lexi Kantor to make arrangements at lexi.kantor@gmail.com.
On-Line applications will be available in early February.
Your Rotary club can support RYLA by...
- Inviting former RYLA participants or RYLA Lead Team members to speak about their experience at a club meeting
- Budgeting to send local participants to the RYLA weekend
- Seeing if your club can help out with anything on the Sponsorship Opportunities list
- Asking school administrators and Interact club advisers to promote RYLA.
- Sharing the RYLA video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNbLU6Tg8d4
- Recruiting young people with leadership potential in the community to attend RYLA
