Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) is an intensive training program that brings together youth and young adults, ages 15-17, to further develop character and leadership skills and learn about Rotary. RYLAs often take the form of a seminar, camp, or workshop, generally 3-10 days in length, organized by Rotarians at the club, district, or multidistrict level.
Participants are nominated by local Rotary clubs, which often cover all expenses. For these young adults, this recognition offers the opportunity to build self-confidence, gain exposure to a variety of issues and people, meet active community leaders, and learn valuable information and career skills.
This year FC Rotary is proud to sponsor Kai Kinard (sophomore) and Zoe Kinard (sophomore) from the Forest School, Samira Eldawi (sophomore) of Whitewater High School, and Gabrielle Johnson. Congratulations to these girls! We are very proud of your leadership and dedication to growth.
