Key Information for RYLA Candidates

What is RYLA? RYLA in Rotary District 9675 is an amazing leadership program for young adults aged between 19 and 25 organised by local members of Rotary International in the Sydney, Macarthur, and Illawarra areas. The 6-day program typically has around 65 participants and focuses on building leadership, personal development, teamwork and community service. RYLA features presentations from many experts who generously donate their time and experience to further the development of young leaders. The program combines workshops and presentations to fully explore the fundamentals of effective leadership. Typically, all RYLA participants, a.k.a. “RYLArians”, are generously sponsored to attend by a local Rotary Club. RYLA costs $800 (inc. GST) for each participant, and this cost is typically covered in full by a local Rotary Club, making this opportunity incredibly valuable. What is Rotary International? Rotary International is a global network of 1.2 million community leaders who see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change– across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves. There are 35,000+ Rotary and Rotaract Clubs around the world. Rotarians and Rotaractors provide service to others, promote integrity, and advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through our fellowship of business, professional, and community leaders.
