Can your Club find a few dynamic leaders to attend the Annual RYLA Conference?
The Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) Leadership Conference is an interactive development program designed in enhancing leadership skills in the next generation of innovative leaders. Working with students after their Junior year of high school, Rotary Clubs throughout Rotary District 7390, select up to 140 students to participate in RYLA Leadership Conference. The Conference is held in mid-June every year. The 2026 Conference will be the 64th RYLA in Rotary District 7390.
Upon arriving at RYLA, participants are assigned a Counselor and Country with up to 15 other Conferees. Conferees spend four days exploring the intricacies of leadership and how it arises in the real world. Activities focus on team building, group problem solving, and interpersonal management within project teams.
RYLA helps individuals increase their self-confidence, enhance leadership capabilities, and provides tools of communication. The result is an increase in self-efficacy, and the ability to enhance the communities you are involved in. The schedule includes various speakers, career seminars, team building activities, a conference band and chorus and much, much more.
RYLA registration will close on April 1, 2026. The fee to sponsor a RYLA Conferee is $600 per student.
