Vision

Please explain what you hope to gain by participating in RYLA.

I hope to gain more leadership skills and attain team working skills as well as team building skills.

Rotary’s motto is “service above self.” What does that mean to you?

Service above self means to be able to put your community before myself and be able to serve in my community rather than serve myself and put myself before my community.
