RYLA

St Machar Rotary supports theRotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) every year. We hold candidate interviews at St Machar Academy with successful applicants winning a place at the Abernethy Outdoor Activity Centre.

RYLA is an intensive leadership experience organized by Rotary clubs and districts where you develop your skills as a leader while having fun and making connections.

• Connect with leaders in your community and around the world to:
• Build communication and problem-solving skills
• Discover strategies for becoming a dynamic leader in your school or community
• Learn from community leaders, inspirational speakers, and peer mentors
• Unlock your potential to turn motivation into action
• Have fun and form lasting friendships

RYLA events are organized locally by Rotary clubs and districts for participants ages 14-30. Depending on community needs, RYLA may take the form of a one-day seminar, a three-day retreat, or a weeklong camp. Typically, events last 3-10 days and include presentations, activities, and workshops covering a variety of topics.

Your community might host a RYLA event for secondary school students to hone their leadership potential, for university students to develop creative problem-solving strategies, or for young professionals to learn ethical business practices.

RYLA participants are nominated by local Rotary clubs. Contact St Machar Rotary club to find out more about RYLA events in our area, how to apply, how it works and how you can participate.
