Do you know a young leader in our community ?
 
Application closing date for Rotary Young Leaders Awards (RYLA ) 2026 has been extended.

 

The Rotary Club of Invercargill is looking for nominations to sponsor a future community leader to attend.

RYLA is a leadership recognition programme to develop skills to become the leaders of tomorrow

The RYLA Leadership Programme is a transformative experience designed to develop leadership, self-awareness, and a sense of community in young people. It’s not just about learning leadership — it’s about living it. Participants are immersed in a dynamic, supportive environment where they are challenged, inspired, and empowered.
