RYLA 2019

Excellent talk by Oliver Brooks, this year’s RYLA candidate

Rotary Youth Leadership Award

Oliver Brooks, Felixstowe Rotary Club’s 2019 RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Award) candidate, gave an excellent talk to members on 17 October about his experiences on a development programme held at the Grafham Water Centre. This RYLA programme is a mixture of carefully designed learning experiences, a business simulation, challenging exercises using the outdoors and feedback sessions delivered by professional trainers who have experience of working with young people in a challenging environment.

Above, we see Oliver being presented with his RYLA certificate by Club President Andy Miller.
