Pagosa Springs Rotary Club
Nolan Kay participates in a RYLA retreat in 2019
We haven’t heard from you yet, and there is still time to develop your leadership skills or potential leadership skills.
The Rotary Club here in Pagosa Springs has a great opportunity for all high school students in 10th or 11th grade. We want to sponsor you to attend this year’s RYLA retreat weekend in Leadville, Colorado, June 2-4. RYLA is Rotary Youth Leadership Award. There’s no charge to participate and everything is provided, including transportation.
Nolan Kay, who attend RYLA in 2019, had this to say: "RYLA was a great experience for me. I had the opportunity to participate in a variety of leadership activities. These helped me develop into a better leader. RYLA was also lots of fun, and I met many wonderful students from around the state.”
Outdoor recreation activities at Colorado Mountain College in the Leadville area are endless, and we are planning to offer the RYLA participants a chance to experience leadership development through outdoor experiential learning as well as traditional classroom instruction. The Colorado Mountain College offers the opportunity to experience a ropes course, a climbing wall and hiking.
The first step is to fill out an application. You can pick one up at the library or contact Ms. Galabota. If you qualify, you’ll then be interviewed by the committee to find out about your school activities and interests. There’s room for two students. We will create a waiting list in case rooms become available and will let you know if we can send more.
Return your application to the library by April 17 at 6pm. Interviews will be held April 21.
