RYLA 
Ryla is a week long residential personal development program for young people aged 18 to 25 years, which focuses on self,leadership and community. 
RYLA aims to:

• Provide an opportunity for young people from diverse organisations and backgrounds to come together to gain a better understanding of their own strengths, and the unique qualities and abilities of others.
• Provide an opportunity for young people to develop a network of resources to facilitate their roles and development.
• Provide a training program incorporating teamwork, communication and motivation to develop the leadership skills of young people.
• Create a greater awareness of social issues affecting young people and
• Demonstrate Rotary’s commitment to young people.

One District program per year is run (usually in October) with each Club allowed to nominate a participant. The Club meets the cost and provides the necessary transport. The participant usually speaks to the Club at a dinner meeting shortly after their attendance.
