Welcome

Dear Rotarians:

 

The District 6630 Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) Committee encourages your club’s involvement in sponsoring local high school juniors (who will be seniors in August 2023) for the upcoming leadership camp at Baldwin Wallace University (BW) in Berea, Ohio.  Please read this entire letter, due to the continued changes that have occurred with the registration of participants from for the past few years.

 

The RYLA Committee has planned a five-day leadership conference for high school juniors who are aspiring young leaders. The conference will be held June 11-15, 2023, at BW. The program will enhance the student’s leadership skills through lectures, hands-on participation, and recreation.

 

The cost to the sponsoring Rotary Club is $550.00 per student. This fee includes room, board, staff fees, supplies and recreational costs. There will be a 10:1 student to staff ratio and a professional conference director on campus the entire week.

 

We will be using an ONLINE APPLICATION process again this year.  If you want to send the school a copy of the application, that is fine. Once the participant(s) have been selected, they must register with the same online application. The link to the online application will be sent to you, once your payment has been received by the RYLA District Chair.  At this link, campers will fill out an APPLICATION form; a MEDICAL RELEASE form, the CONSENT RELEASE and AUTHORIZATION form and be able to view a tentative schedule of activities.

 

 

Make checks payable to: Rotary District 6630-RYLA

 

This year’s program will be limited to 65 students. There is no limit to the number of students your club may sponsor, however, we ask that you sponsor no more than 2 students from the same school.

 

If you have questions, feel free to call Marc at 440-826-3483 or e-mail mwest@bw.edu
