The Rotary Club of Forbes is calling on employer groups in Forbes or employees in the 18 to 28 age group to nominate candidates to attend the 2023 Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA).
The 2023 RYLA will be held from Saturday, 7th January to Friday, 13th January at the Warrambui Retreat and Conference Centre in Murrumbateman NSW.
Employers are invited to nominate staff members in this age group or employee applicants can approach their employers to support their attendance in this week-long program.
Young people in our district have been hugely affected by the 2014/19 drought, the COVID-19 Pandemic and the current record high flooding of the Lachlan River, so now is the perfect time to support them in their leadership development.
Two of the current members of Forbes Rotary Club are past attendees of RYLA, farmer Grahame Uphill and civil engineer John Zannes. They have great memories of the RYLA experience and can’t speak highly enough about the benefits of this Rotary program.
Participants can complete an online application form by accessing https://forms.gle/bYo1tqn8GduCJ3kL9 The sponsorship fee for each participant is $950, which includes a generous subsidy from Rotary District 9705. This fee includes meal and accommodation costs, travelling expenses for inspirational speakers and support staff, and may also attract a further subsidy from the Forbes Rotary Club depending on the applicant’s financial situation.
