Empower Yourself with Leadership Skills, Teamwork, and Personal Growth...

More than mere awards, RYLA is an opportunity to hear from professional speakers during a four-day program, participate in group activities, form lasting friendships and develop and grow as a person and leader. We run the RYLA program for Rotary District 5050.

Every District operates RYLA differently. In our opinion, our RYLA program is one of the best in the world. For information on RYLA internationally, you can check out Rotary International's page.

As District 5050 clubs are in Washington State and British Columbia, we have a mix of Americans and Canadians. There is no cost to the candidate as the sponsoring Rotary Club pays the application fee. RYLA is typically held in either April or May.

 

RYLA 2025 will be held at Camp Korey in Mount Vernon, WA, May 29 - June 1, 2025.  For more information on the facility, visit their website at https://www.campkorey.org/

Say yes to this fantastic opportunity!

RYLA has three expectations: ATTEND, PARTICIPATE and HAVE FUN! After RYLA, we hope and expect that participants will take the lessons learned from RYLA and apply them to their personal lives and communities. We ask participants to share what they have learned and lead others to better serve at work, at home and in their community. Once participants have completed RYLA, they are encouraged to attend their sponsoring Rotary club's meeting and share their thoughts about RYLA.
