What
is RYLA?
RYLA is an exciting seminar where
your leadership skills are identified, developed, and improved. This leadership experience lasts six days and is held in the beautiful Manzano
mountains in central New Mexico. RYLA is the camp that will
sharpen your leader skills. RYLA is a camp designed for you and
for your future.
RYLA is a weeklong seminar
run by volunteer Rotarians and spouses. RYLA provides each staff member and
participant with the opportunity to reach for the highest standards and to
experience leadership at its best. RYLA's main focus is to develop young
leaders. RYLA aims to: demonstrate Rotary's respect and concern for youth,
provide an effective training experience for selected youth leaders,
encourage leadership of youth by youth, and recognize publicly young people
who are rendering service to their communities.
We do this through speakers who
address: ethics of positive leadership, community leadership and
involvement, problem solving and conflict management, the importance of
communication skills, building confidence and self-esteem, exploring values
and moral responsibility, and what is Rotary. We develop leadership skills
by team building activities with organized games such as volleyball, relay
swimming and a low ropes course. The challenge of the high ropes course then
builds self-confidence.
RYLA is a official activity of
Rotary International. The program was first developed in New Zealand and
Australia in 1959 to fulfill a need to recognize and develop outstanding
young people. RYLA was later adopted by Rotary International and is now held
throughout the world. RYLA programs are held in Asia, India, Africa, Europe,
South America and North America.
