And Rotary Youth Leadership representatives Nyasha (member Bayside Rotary and RYLA Leader) and Allen (member Rotaract based at Deakin) who spoke of their experience with RYLA, at Kangaroobie, near Port Cambell. The program develops youth in leadership and self esteem. The Youth Committee still looking for possible candidates for RYLA 2012 in April. As Allen indicated, young people aged between 18 to 25 who would benefit from a week of learning leadership skills and some time for self reflection would be suitable. Not just those already showing leadership potential.
