Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) is a High School Leadership Development program sponsored by Rotary International. Each year, thousands of young people take part in the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) programs held worldwide.  Our RYLA Camp has been specifically designed by area Rotary Clubs for High School students in Central and North Western Arizona.  We hold our RYLA Conference at Camp Pinerock in Prescott Arizona, annually over the Martin Luther King holiday weekend.

The next RYLA conference is January 16-19, 2015.

RYLA encourages servant leadership in youth by recognizing and rewarding deserving students who are chosen to attend RYLA as an "award" for their past and present leadership and service activities.

High School Students, primarily in their sophomore and junior years, are chosen for their leadership potential. Award winners, known as Delegates, attend an all-expenses-paid camp to learn advanced leadership skills. Delegates reinforce their skills by using these new leadership tools in many activities which enhance their ability.
