RYLA is short for Rotary Youth Leadership Awards, which is hosted by the local Rotary District 7305. Rotary is an international organization of over 1.5 million community members working to make the world a better place through networking and service projects. Among the many areas of focus, Rotary is committed to youth and youth development. Students attend the program on a full scholarship from a local Rotary club. 

Utilizing the campus facilities, participants grow as a team, as well as critically challenge their strengths and skills through workshops, projects, service projects, and social activities. Rising high school juniors and seniors are encouraged to apply to RYLA
