The Rotary Club of Milton is actively searching for qualified candidates to attend this year’s Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) Conference, which will be held from May 15th through May 17th, 2015 at the Cape Cod Sea Camps in Brewster, MA. The Annual RYLA Conference will offer outstanding high school juniors an opportunity to live, work and interact together in an atmosphere of cooperation and friendly competition. It will be a program designed to challenge the participants to utilize and improve their skills and accept the responsibilities of leadership. Best of all, there is no charge to the students for the program. The Rotary Club of Milton will sponsor 3 participants at this year’s conference.

The participants will be selected from young women and men who have exhibited leadership abilities and who are currently in their sophomore or junior year of high school. The Rotary Club of Milton is now contacting high school principals, guidance counselors, youth organizations and other sources for nominations of conference participants. Individuals may also apply independently by contacting the Milton Rotary Club directly. (Details & Applications available at http://www.youth7950.org)
