Discover the transformative power of the Rotary Youth Leadership Award (RYLA)! As the 'RYLA Season' begins, high school sophomores and juniors in your community are invited to embark on a journey of leadership and service. The application period opens on February 15, 2026, offering students a unique opportunity to develop essential skills and values.
At RYLA camp, participants will explore their individual leadership styles, learn to apply the 4-Way Test daily, and embrace the principle of Service Above Self through community projects. They will gain insights into Rotary’s Polio Plus, Water Project initiatives, and combating Human Trafficking, while engaging with motivational speakers and networking with peers to forge lifelong friendships.
This is the perfect time to identify promising students and encourage them to apply. Your club has recognized their potential as future leaders, and now they can log onto GreatPlainsRYLA.org to register and complete their application for this life-changing experience.
