RYLA - Virtual Session

RYLA+ is a unique, multi-dimensional leadership development experience for high school sophomores and juniors. This program, highlighting Rotary values and concepts, was designed by Rotarians and RYLA Alumni to prepare students to be engaged citizens who are able to lead with strong essential leadership skills, such as communication, innovation, collaboration, and more. During this transformative program, students are able to make connections in a digital environment through interactive games and activities, while building the foundation for their skills. Students then meet up in person at the beautiful campground for an entire weekend of immersive activities, such as ropes and challenge courses, a problem-solving pirate treasure hunt, and team challenges. RYLA+ culminates with Rotary Warriors, an activity exploring Rotary International’s Seven Areas of Focus. Alumni are invited back to continue growing their leadership skills for years to come through service as staff members, increasing their responsibilities and contributions to the program each year.
