Youth Service
Youth Service recognises and celebrates the positive changes implemented by young people. Our youth leadership development programs, local and international service projects, and exchange programs, enrich communities and promote cultural understanding and world peace as we build the leaders of our future and our now.
Resources for District Leaders
Rotary is committed to ensuring a safe environment for all young people in its activities. District leaders must enforce policies and address abuse or harassment reports, but everyone shares responsibility for prevention. This course outlines your role in protecting youth, defines abuse and harassment, and describes Rotary's reporting procedures.

RYLA Oceania Awards
The RYLA Oceania Awards recognize and celebrate the individuals and teams who have made outstanding contributions to RYLA across Oceania.
RYLA could not be possible without the generous support of Rotary clubs and community groups, the kindness of speakers who give their time and experience, and most notably the incredible work and effort from passionate RYLA Program Leaders.
