Do you have what it takes to become a dynamic leader and change not only yourself but the world?

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.

What will happen at the RYLA Leadership Conference?

Each Conferee is guided through the experience by a team of trained Counselors who have been working to hone their skills. Counselors actively demonstrate leadership ability, commit to positive youth development, and actively put these skills into action.  The majority of Counselors started as conferees and are dedicated volunteers that keep RYLA Leadership Conference growing and functioning.
