RYLA
9th - 15th January 2022
RYLA is Rotarians working with youth in leadership development. Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) is an intensive training program for youth aiming to be leaders in our community. Young people aged 18-25, chosen for their leadership potential, attend a 7 day camp, organised by Rotarians. Australia needs to develop proactive youth leaders with self confidence and a capacity to be positive role models to others. The impact of the program spreads well beyond the week as the awardees influence other young people as they return to their community.
RYLA has partnered with South Metropolitan TAFE to award
RYLA participants who successfully complete the program a
Certificate 1 in Leadership. This is a nationally recognised
qualification which will help kick start careers.

-
Develop their personal effectiveness and self confidence
-

Participant Responsibilities

Participants will be expected to abide by camp regulation and a code of behaviour based on common sense and courtesy to fellow participants.
