Summary: Our Club will sponsor a diverse group of high school students to attend District 6450 RYLA in October, 2018
This year we plan to sponsor ten teens to attend the District 6450 RYLA, held October 5 - 8 in Williams Bay, Wisconsin. We are especially excited that our group will comprise our two youth exchange students, Interact members from our own community and (new this year) students from under-resourced areas in Chicago. We believe all the students will benefit from the education, leadership and conflict resolution skills taught and pracxticed at RYLA. Our ability to bring in students from Chicago neighborhoods experiencing extreme violence gives us hope that we might also be addressing "peace and conflict prevention" by helping these students in particular grow into community leaders. By bringing together local, global and Chicago students to this weekend, we believe we are offering a truly "Rotary" experience.
