Rotary Youth Leadership Academy 2027
April 9-11, 2027

We are happy to use the beautiful Lake Williamson’s space as we bring together participants from all over west central Illinois to engage with their peers and learn more about Rotary.

Our theme this year is Create Lasting Change.

Here’s your chance to get students the experience they need to be a LEADER in the community and at school. With the one-time RYLA experience, students can gain the skills they need to be SUCCESSFUL in college and in future careers. By attending they will grow and excel with other leaders who make an impact on their schools and communities.

To register for RYLA 2027, use the student and parent forms on the right side of the page. The Eaglecrest Adventure Team Challenge Waiver link located to the right side of the page must also be filled out for registration to be considered complete.

Rotary Clubs should forward the student and parent forms and disseminate it to high schools in their area.

Students must submit all forms by March 26, 2027 at 9:00 AM.

If you plan to send students to RYLA in April, here is the process for making a payment:

1. Checks can be made out to District 6460
2. Include a memo note indicating it is for RYLA and the number of students you are sending.
3. You will send your check to:
