Vision

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

I hope enrich my leadership skills and learn to thrive outside of my comfort zone. I hope to make new friends and build life long relationships.

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

It means putting others before yourself, and applying effort to a cause with no expected repayment.
