Applications for RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Awards) for 2026 are open!
RYLA is an intensive eight-day program designed for 18-28 year olds with leadership potential and a commitment to community service. The program is a unique opportunity aimed to bring participants out of their comfort zone and challenge them to think outside the square while actively using and building on their existing skills and knowledge.
RYLA will build participants skills in Communication and Public Speaking, Leadership, Team Work and Group Dynamics, Problem Solving and Decision Making, Goal Setting, Time Management and Self Awareness and Emotional Intelligence.
All applications must include the name of their sponsoring Rotary Club, and we expect that applicants have contacted their local Rotary Club to arrange sponsorship prior to submitting the form. The RYLA Committee will assist to put applicants in touch with a Rotary Club - so please be prepared!
RYLA is held at the Serpentine Camping Centre from Saturday 10th January – Saturday 17th January 2026.
Applications close 30th November 2025.
