The RYLA program is an inspiring week-long personal development seminar for young people 19-25 years old, who are post-secondary students or recent graduates. RYLA participants are chosen for their demonstrated leadership potential and attend an all-expenses-paid seminar.
The program is carefully designed to provide leadership training and experience, including lectures and discussion periods with skilled and prominent facilitators, as well as recreation and a chance to live and learn with 40-45 other young leaders.
For over 30 years, local Rotary Clubs from across Ontario and Western New York in Rotary District 7090 have sponsored thousands of young leaders to attend the annual RYLA seminar. The RYLA program is exciting, informative and inspiring! It is specifically tailored for young adults and encourages participation, fun, and a high level of interactive learning.
