Vision

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

I hope to gain valuable information about how I can help use my talents to better my community. I wish to put forth what I’ve learned at RYLA back into my rotary/interact group!

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

Service above self means prioritizing the community’s needs above my own. Contributing to the needs of the community through selfless actions everyday!
