The Rotary Connection
Rotary is one of the largest international service associations with some 29,000 clubs in more than 160 countries. Its members are dedicated to humanitarian service, high ethical standards in promotion of world understanding and peace.
One of the goals of Rotary is to help young people develop their leadership
abilities and self-confidence to the fullest.
To accomplish that goal, Rotary clubs prepare thousands of young leaders through Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) programs each year. RYLA events are organized by Rotarians who are business and professional achievers.
Rotary clubs also sponsor other, complementary programs for young people. They include Rotaract (a service club for young adults), Interact (a service club for secondary school students), Youth Exchange (a chance to live and study abroad), and Ambassadorial Scholarships (for university or post-secondary study abroad).

and other Rotary programs, please visit Rotary online at
