District 6760’s RYLA is a 5 day long, life-changing, leadership-building experience hosted each year at Austin Peay State University. Designed for high school students ages 15-17, the program focuses on community service planning, team-building, ropes courses, and communication skills. Young leaders throughout Tennessee gather to be “comfortable being uncomfortable”, to communicate as a team, and lift each other up. They build high-performing teams from complete strangers.

None of this would happen without the support of Rotary clubs within the districts, their Rotarians, guest speakers and APSU staff, and a committed, volunteer-based staff.
