Posted by Sam McCurdy: A RYLA event is being organised and run as a joint program between District 9810 and 9820 at Rawson Village in West Gippsland from 17th – 22nd January 2022. RYLA is an intensive 6-day leadership experience sponsored by Rotary clubs to build skills and develop young leaders of tomorrow, while having fun and making meaningful connections. Participants aged 18 – 30 can connect with leaders in our community and learn valuable skills through this program by: - Building communication and problem-solving strategies
- Discovering strategies for becoming dynamic leaders in the community
- Learning from community leaders, inspirational speakers, and peer mentors
- Unlocking their potential to turn motivation into action
- Having fun and forming lasting friendships as well as connections
- Experiencing professional development and gaining opportunities to serve the community through Rotary and Rotaract
Clubs can become involved by sponsoring a participant and or program leader. Sponsoring a participant will give the club a simple way to focus on developing young leaders, create sustainable change, and aid in the creation of service-minded global citizens. Applications made for the program prior to 31st October will be invoiced an early bird sponsorship fee of $949 for participants and $650 for leaders. After that date, fees will be $1049 and $750 respectively. Applications are currently open online and can be accessed through the District website at: youth.rotary9820.org.au/ryla |
