This committee works with the local High School to annually select Four students in their Junior year of HSThe students are selected using a combination of three avenues. First, the conferees (as they’re called) are asked at the closing reception each year to start thinking about appropriate students for the next year. Second, we work with the Career/Guidance people at the schools (I contact Mrs. Ziegler at Manheim Township and Oz has a relationship with the folks at Lancaster Catholic). They have info on RYLA and we ask them to put the information in the hands of appropriate students. I always stress that I am not looking for students who excel at everything – I look for students that could really use the boost of RYLA acceptance on their resumes. We want students with good potential who may just not have had the opportunity to reach their potential.
