St Ives Rotary - Youth Service

The Rotary Youth Leadership Award is a challenging 5 day training program which provides an opportunity for young people to develop their leadership skills whilst promoting self confidence. The course is run by business professionals, both Rotarians and Rylarians who have gained experience by themselves attending this course.

Rotary is seeking young people between the ages of 18 to 26 years who have the talent, energy and motivation to discover their leadership potential to attend this program.

Whether you are a young professional, enthusiastic worker, self employed,or a tertiary student, RYLA provides a fantastic opportunity to learn new skills, be confident and have fun whilst making new friends. Those who complete a RYLA program are often better able to successfully manage their own lives, careers and make a mark on society. Take the RYLA challenge and uncover your true potential!
