RYLA Rotary Youth Leadership Awards

Release the potential leader within.

What are the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards?

Rotary Youth Leadership Awards, or RYLA, is a leadership development programme run by Rotary for young adults, that will take place during August this year.

RYLA helps young people discover their potential and develop the skills needed to be a leader in their community, career and everyday life.

The local RYLA course is sponsored by Church Stretton Rotary.

What does RYLA offer?

RYLA course is for 5 days and gives participants the opportunity to:

  • Gain exposure to leadership scenarios.
  • Explore problem-solving strategies as part of a team.
  • Discuss and apply creative approaches to leadership and conflict management.
  • Build confidence in yourself and what you can achieve.
  • Meet new people and make lasting friendships.
  • Learn how to arrange youth activities and community service projects at locally and internationally.

Being a leader is not just about being confident enough to speak out and knowing what to say, it is knowing when to listen to others and understand. RYLA teaches this, and other soft skills, to help everyone to be the best they can be.

Teamwork exercises bring people together from different walks of life in a safe environment where everyone can get to know each other without fear of exclusion or negativity.

Who eligible?

You don’t need to be a high achiever with outstanding academic grades, just be willing to try something new through activity-based learning and discover new talents along the way, as well as having fun.

RYLA programmes involve some physical challenges so can be demanding but are designed for all.
