The Rotary Club of Teton Valley is currently accepting applications from incoming sophomore high school students for a youth leadership summer program. Rotary will be sponsoring at least 3 high school students from Teton Valley to attend the 2013 Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) camp held at Luccock Park Camp, south of Livingston, Montana, July 9-13, 2013.

The students who have attended RYLA in the past have expressed great gratitude and felt they made lifelong friends through an experience changed their lives. Applicants who exemplify strong leadership skills or potential are selected by regional Rotary Clubs to attend this 5-day leadership camp. Applicants must currently be in the freshman class. The camp consists of presentations by outstanding motivational speakers, leadership activities and discussion groups directed by adult Rotarian Facilitators.

 

Potential candidates are incoming sophomore students (current freshman students 2012-2013) and must have:

  • Leadership experience or potential, as demonstrated by active participation in youth groups, student government activities, athletics, and/or community involvement.

  • Superior citizenship and GPA 2.0 or better.

  • Ability to contribute / communicate as a member of a group.

Download an application and look at our downloads for other forms and information. Local Rotary Club members will then contact students completing applications for interviews. Teton Valley’s Rotary Club will pay the $300 attendance fee for the students who are selected. Applications should be submitted by April 22nd.
