RYLA is a life-changing program, providing an incredible opportunity to develop yourself as a leader alongside 75 participants. This will be a week of your life that you’ll never forget, and we’d love you to be involved!
What is RYLA?
RYLA is an amazing leadership program for young adults aged between 19 and 25. The 6 day program typically has 75 participants and focuses on leadership, personal development, teamwork and community awareness. 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.
All RYLA participants are generously sponsored to attend by a local Rotary club. RYLA costs $800 (inc GST) for each participant, and this cost is covered in full by Rotary – it really is an incredibly valuable opportunity!
Why should I attend RYLA?
RYLA is truly a life-changing experience. The program is an opportunity to understand yourself and others, and understand what it means to be a leader. You will form amazing connections with your fellow participants, and the impact on your life will go well-beyond the 6 days you spend together.
Who can attend RYLA?
Anyone who wishes to develop themselves as a leader can attend RYLA! The program is for people aged around 19 to 25, as this is a great time after High School to understand yourself more and what you want out of life. We are seeking anyone who wishes to make an impact on the community and is committed to ongoing learning.
Every RYLArian is generously sponsored in full by a local Rotary club. Your application must be approved by a sponsoring Rotary club, which will require an interview by the club. All successful applicants must present to their sponsoring Rotary Club after the program to provide feedback about their experience and also show their appreciation for this incredible opportunity.
When and where is RYLA?
RYLA will be held from 28 January – 2 February 2025 at The Tops Conference Centre at the beautiful Stanwell Tops (located between Sydney and Wollongong). You must be able to attend for the entire duration of the program.
