RYLA and Young RYLA![]() The Arvada Sunrise Rotary Club sponsors spots at RYLA [Rotary Youth Leadership Award] and Young RYLA each year. These are life-changing leadership training programs for young men and women where leadership skills and principles are learned, developed and enhanced in an atmosphere of trust and respect. 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. |

Sole HopeHow Many Pairs of Shoes Do You Own? ![]() ASR learned that thousands of vulnerable people in Uganda suffer from a crippling parasite called jiggers. They suffer because they don't own even one pair of shoes. ASR started collecting over 75 pairs of jeans. In collaboration with the non-profit Sole Hope, we planned to host a 'Shoe Party' but due to Co-vid, we all got busy tracing and cutting patterns in our own homes. What an amazing way to benefit the world while being quarantined. Thanks to our District 5450 matching Grant, ASR provided 190 pairs of shoes. As the winter rolls around, we still find eager Rotarians ready to keep cutting denim. ~ over 300 pairs of shoes to date. As of 2025 ASR has provided denim for 2,000 pairs of shoes for the people of Uganda! |
