The Rotary Club of Goleta’s new-generation chair, Jay Wright, announced the names of six local high school students who have been chosen to attend this year’s RYLA Youth Leadership Training Camp.
Once a year the Rotary District 5240 selects students to attend the Rotary camp in Ojai. It is a four-day leadership program where students learn the value of leadership and communication skills. It is an intense four days of classes, that are taught by counselors in small-group settings.
Students learn how to empower themselves and others in an environment of trust and support from counselors, staff and other students. Included in the RYLA program are guest speakers who give motivational and inspirational presentations that are often filled with emotion including tears and laughter.
Students who would like to become involved in future RYLA Leadership Camps should email Wright at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).
