Rotary Youth Leadership Awards
Inspiring Alumni. Empowering Leaders. Strengthening Rotary.
RYLA Oceania extends the impact of RYLA across Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific through initiatives that inspire alumni, empower young leaders, and strengthen Rotary.
RYLA Oceania provides the opportunity for RYLArians to continue their RYLA journey through our signature program, RYLA Oceania ELEVATE.
We support the community of Leaders of local District RYLA programs through our annual RYLA Regional Leaders Forum.
RYLA Oceania celebrates the amazing achievements of RYLAarians and RYLA Programs every year by coordinating and hosting the RYLA Oceania AWARDS!
The RYLA Oceania AWARDS recognise 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.
ELEVATE: Extending the RYLA Experience
Our flagship program, RYLA Oceania ELEVATE, is a four-day retreat (27–30 November 2025) where young leaders create personal strategies for sustainable leadership, gain practical tools (from CliftonStrengths to situational leadership), and join a regional network of changemakers.
ELEVATE 2025 - For RYLA Chairs
The RYLA Regional Leaders’ Forum brings together RYLA Program leaders from Districts across Oceania to strengthen each RYLA program through collaboration and the sharing of resources, ideas and best practices.
The weekend is a wonderful opportunity for RYLA Leaders to network, seek inspiration and gain awareness of how RYLA is run in different Districts.
If you are involved in the organisation of your local District RYLA program and want to learn more about RYLA Forum, our resource centre or connect with other District RYLA Leaders, please apply to join our online Facebook Community or contact info@rylaoceania.org.
