Rotary District 5650 is excited to announce the return of its annual Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA-Powered by Launch) program, which took place this past weekend at the beautiful Camp Calvin Crest in Fremont, Nebraska.

For Rotary District 5650, RYLA is a signature event that demonstrates Rotary’s commitment to equipping future leaders with the tools they need to succeed.
Let’s invest in the next generation of leaders—watch your inbox for the Save the Date for RYLA 2026!
