This notice below had been going out to the 2020 Camp RYLA students and alternates that clubs selected in anticipation of this year’s camp program.  
When that did not happen, everyone agreed we need to do something, so this group of seniors would have a similar experience and able to benefit from Rotary’s involvement.   What has evolved is RYLead.   This program is kicking off with our first premiere session on Sunday evening Aug 9th and continuing throughout the academic year.
 
Notice to participating students:
 
 Missing the summer 2020 RYLA program is something we’re all disappointed about. The good news is, you’re not really missing out--we have something new for you!
 
You were selected to participate in this year’s program, and we are holding up our end of the bargain by ensuring you still have an opportunity to expand and develop your leadership skills.
 
Initial Details:
 
Over the course of the next few months, the RYLA staff and alumni will provide a digital leadership program called RYLead (Rotary Youth Leadership Education and Development). The program will be delivered virtually, and it will serve as a high-level leadership training program that is educational, engaging, and entertaining. Like all RYLA programs, we are going to have a “heck of a lot of fun”.
 
As participating students, you will receive specially curated leadership workshops (six to seven additional online opportunities, and at least one in-person get together), mentorship from RYLA alumni who participated in the program, and unique one-of-a-kind experiences to support you during your senior year and to further prepare you for your future. The core values that drive our summer camp will permeate this unique program.
