Club Presidents and Club RYLA/Youth Coordinators:
It is time to continue one of District 7890’s most successful and rewarding annual programs; namely, RYLA.
We encourage all Rotary clubs to take an active role in the selection process for local high school Sophomores with leadership qualities.
Appoint a RYLA/Youth Coordinator for your club with one or two committee members; someone who knows the high school administrator or the guidance counselor.
Arrange a talk at your Rotary Club about RYLA using the enclosed “RYLA PROGRAM: AN OVERVIEW” as a guide. Propose to the club how many students you will sponsor.
Arrange to have information about RYLA at your high school.
Prior to the RYLA Leadership Camp, invite the selected Sophomore student(s) to your club and offer them the experience and knowledge of Rotary’s purposes and programs.
After the RYLA Leadership Camp, invite them back to your club to relate their RYLA day experiences. We guarantee they will make the club membership feel great!
Send an article about RYLA to your local news media.
