By Brett Butler Cain
The Rotary Youth Leadership Award (RYLA) program is available to high school sophomores through seniors who are leaders in your school and community, and it will take place February 16-18, 2023, at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville. Registration is open to high schools in Rotary District 6860 (north Alabama) and surrounding areas. The cost of registration is $350 per student. The hard deadline for students to register is January 15, 2023.
 
The U.S. Space & Rocket Center has provided a unique link to each Rotary Club in District 6860 to register students for RYLA. Students who meet the criteria and wish to participate must complete the RYLA application and return it to their RYLA Chair. Once approved, applicants will be sent the Space & Rocket Center link to complete registration online.
 
Please share the YouTube link https://youtu.be/MSdHtFwIhUY to watch a fantastic video that the RYLA Committee commissioned for a recent RYLA program. Rotary Clubs are encouraged to share this video and materials with local students and parents. Please feel free to share this information with counselors and teachers, as well.
 
Thank you in advance for your help in identifying outstanding students for this program. Should you have any questions, please contact [email protected].
