RYLA
Greetings YouthGassers!
Applications are now open for the 2011 Rotary Youth Leadership Award (RYLA) in Rotary District 9800 (Victoria).
Young people aged 18 to 25 interested in learning more about themselves, developing their leadership skills and having fun are invited to apply for the 2011 Rotary Youth Leadership Award (RYLA) program.
RYLA is a seven-day residential leadership and personal development program that brings together young people from a diverse range of backgrounds to gain a better understanding of their own strengths, and the unique qualities and abilities of others. The 2011 program will take place from Sunday November 27th through Saturday December 3rd inclusive, and is for young people living in Victoria.
RYLA gives young people the opportunity to participate in workshops designed to provide a range of perspectives on leadership and personal development. Dynamic presenters hail from a range of backgrounds including theatre, community development and the corporate sector.
A team of young people, most of whom are past RYLA participants, manage the day to day running of the program.
Past participants describe the program as being incredibly rewarding:
It's a leadership course that helps you lead by knowing and understanding yourself rather than learning ways to tell others what to do. It helps you determine your goals and a path to meet them...
It was a brilliant chance to explore my values in a supportive environment...
RYLA is a week to learn a lot about yourself and your unique style of leadership and using your skills to benefit not only you, but the wider community...
The friendships, the experience, doing it all as a team and working together was an amazing experience. I learnt more about myself and that it's ok to be me!
Each participant is sponsored by a Victorian Rotary Club ensuring the program is at no cost to those who attend. Transportation to and from the outer Metropolitan venue is also provided. Applications close at the end of October - so apply now if you are interested in attending this great program.
