RYLA


The Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) is an annual event sponsored by Rotary International. RYLA is a training program for youth intended to develop leadership skills, responsible citizenship, and personal growth. The program serves as an opportunity to connect with youth, provide effective training experiences, encourage leadership, and recognize public service.

Rotary districts 7620 and 7610 jointly hold RYLA over the MLK, Jr. birthday weekend in January at the National 4-H Youth Conference Center in Chevy Chase. Each participating Rotary club sends 1-3 high school students. Rotaract has been involved in RYLA by participating as group and cabin leaders.

Rebuilding Together

For the past several years, Rotaract of Howard County has partnered with our parent Rotary club, the Columbia Rotary, to help repair homes in our community. Rebuilding Together occurs each April at several homes throughout the county. Repairs have involved painting, gardening, cleaning, and much more.
