The Arvada Rotary Club is sponsoring two spots at RYLA [Rotary Youth Leadership Award] and YoungRYLA each. They are extending an invitation to our club to have us recommend candidates for these awards. They are also inviting us to nominate students for their scholarship. Should anyone be interested, please visit this website to apply: https://rockymountainryla.org/
There are several past participants of this program that stated their experience was life-changing and made them more aware of their capabilities. It is common to see a student become emotional when talking about their experience with RYLA. For many students, this is their first exposure to Rotary and what we, as Rotarians, can accomplish. The projects and exercises in this five-day camp are designed to get the students to think differently about certain situations and develop their own solutions with fellow students they may have not met before attending the camp. Many students worldwide, who have attended RYLA, have continued on to become members of an Interact, Rotaract, and eventually a Rotary club.
