Youth Activities in Rotary North East 2024-25

Information Packs for the 2024-25 Youth Competitions are available on the District website.

This year's  RYLA courses took place at our purpose-built site alongside Hannahs Meadow and the Hury reservoir in August 2024.  40 young people took part this year. We added loads of new features to offer the best RYLA yet and well over 100 people - RYLArians, parents and Rotarians - joined us for the celebration dinner in the Copthorne Hotel on 19 September.

We hope to run the Technology Tournament in Spring next year, if resources permit, after taking time out because of COVID restrictions. We are always looking for volunteers to help us to run this very popoular event. AG Terry Bolton has agreed to lead on this event.

Please visit the pages below to find out more about Rotakids, Interact, Rotaract, Youth Competitions, RYLA, and Rotary Youth Exchange (STEP and Long-term programmes).

Speakers available:

I am available to speak face-to-face (or on Zoom) to Clubs or Club Groups about Youth Competitions and RYLA. 

Jean and Keith Best are happy to do Zoom presentations on the Peace Project they have developed. Please let me know if you would like Jean and Keith to do a presentation at your club meeting.
