Rotary Youth Leadership Academy
Mar 10, 2015
Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) is a program that originated with Rotary International and has subsequently been specifically designed by Rotary District 6250 for the students in Wisconsin & Illinois. RYLA encourages servant leadership in youth by recognizing and rewarding deserving 11th grade students who are chosen to attend RYLA as an "award" for their past and present leadership and service activities. These select young people attend an all-expenses-paid camp where they are inspired by a diverse group of exceptional speakers, make life-long friends through fellowship activities, and discuss the ethical and social issues of today. These activities are conducted in an atmosphere of trust and respect. The result is that these students return to their schools and communities motivated to take on additional leadership roles and to find additional ways to serve. RYLA's intent is to encourage students to be more effective servant leaders. RYLA is not a camp intended to teach leadership skills (it is assumed that the students in attendance already possess those skills), however the following topics naturally arise in the course of RYLA activities and discussions:

Concordia Assisting Vets Returning To University
Apr 21, 2015
Ed Garza will speak to us about Concordia's program assisting veterans through the application maze and assisting them with government educational programs that may do not realize that they are eligible for.
Mr. Garza has also been successful in finding opportunities in transferring military training into college credits thus making the realization of a goal for a college degree easier to attain. They work with Veterans on accessing other programs and resume building to ease the transition back into civilian life. In Milwaukee one out of four men who are homeless are veterans, this program can and will change lives. |
