Rotary Young Leaders in Action - New Generations News Letter by RI


All around the world, Rotary clubs and districts are bringing promising young people together for life-changing leadership training through Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA), developing innovative ways to engage young people based on their community’s unique needs. In Colorado, USA, teens with physical disabilities learn to overcome challenges to become leaders in their schools and communities. Students in India are introduced to sustainable farming techniques by local agriculture experts. Rotaractors in Nigeria partner with Rotarians to discuss the importance of social responsibility and mentorship. But this leadership journey doesn’t have to end with RYLA: Invite young leaders to stay connected with Rotary through Interact, Rotaract, and Rotary Youth Exchange.
If you want to start a RYLA program or expand an established one, you can now use district grants to maximize your impact! Follow us on Facebook to connect around the globe, and find resources to organize a RYLA in your community. Customize ourRYLA certificate to celebrate each participant. Questions?

Mentorship makes club partnerships stronger Mentorship makes club parnerships stronger
The Rotaract Club of Birmingham, in Alabama, USA, was looking for a new way to keep members engaged and able to network with business leaders. Professional Partners began simply as a mentorship program with the club’s sponsor Rotary club, but it soon evolved into a unique partnership that transforms untapped potential into action for both Rotaract members and their Rotarian mentors.
