What’s Rotary?
Rotary is a global network of neighbors, friends, leaders, and problem-solvers who see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change – across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves. From literacy and peace to water and health, we are always working to better our world. Very simply: We provide service to others, promote integrity, and advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through our fellowship of business, professional, and community leaders. As a student, you can become a Rotarian through our Interact and Rotaract clubs. First, join us at RYLA University.
RYLA University Meeting times will be Saturday mornings from 9 a.m. – 12:00 noon. Pre- and self-guided coursework will be required and assigned prior to Saturday’s discussions.
