RYLA

 

 

The Rotary Club of Port Nicholson is offering up to two grants for attendance at RYLA 2025. The programme will be held during  22 - 26 January at Forest lakes, Otaki.

RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Award) is a four and a half day residential high energy programme to develop lower North Island young leaders between the ages of 18 and 24.

This exciting programme engages Rotary clubs and districts around the world to help the next generation of leaders expand their skills. The RYLA programme recognises, encourages and educates current and future leaders by offering them an intensive leadership experience. The programme demonstrates Rotary's commitment to developing leaders.

This spirit extends even beyond Rotary clubs. RYLA has substantial goodwill within the wider community and each year attracts cooperation from community and cultural organisations, businesses, and civic and national leaders. Each supporter understands the long-term benefits our young leaders gain from their RYLA experience.

RYLA is an invaluable programme that brings together individuals to harness creativity, diversity, inspiration, energy and leadership to cultivate personal growth and develop long-lasting meaningful change.

The aim is to empower young individuals to create positive growth within themselves and their communities through harnessing their leadership potential.
