RYLA is Rotarians working with youth in leadership development. It is an interactive 7 day, 6 night leadership conference, organised and run by Rotarians to support 18-30 year olds in the workplace to lead in the community and in their professions.

The curriculum for every RYLA includes the following

• Fundamentals of leadership
• Importance of communication skills in effective leadership
• Ethics of positive leadership
• Problem solving and conflict-management
• What Rotary is and what it does for the local community
• Building self- confidence and self- esteem

The impact of the progam spreads further as the program awardees influence other young people
