RYLA = Rotary Youth Leadership Academy Summer 2018 Camp included speaker guests Shelby, Kate, Sasha, and Alaya.
They students convinced our Rotary Club that they are indeed our investment to the future and the camp with provided them with this year was lifechanging for each one. There were group exercises everyday and evening that enhanced their ability to empathize with others, inclusion and respect for all others. “the Pitch” was a program to teach service to youth who have had their own life struggles at an early age. Personality tests were given to give each participant an understanding of who they are as well as their neighbor. Conquering Fears, learning trust, sharing hardships are all part of our healthy personal development a RYLA participant experiences. Relationship building, functioning in groups, knowing how to take charge, understanding norms and assimilations and specific areas where we can effectively lead were other lessons taught all as part of leadership training.
