Lend a hand

Could you spare a couple of hours? Here are two Rotary-related opportunities seeking volunteers.
-  Share your vocational experience at the RYLA Living Library - our club is sponsoring two students to attend the Rotary Youth Leadership Award program this year
-  Help Food4Kids close the weekend food gap for 400 children in our community
    Share your vocational experience at the RYLA Living Library
     
    The fantastic Rotary Youth Leadership Award (RYLA) program for 18-30 year olds will take place virtually this year, from May 13-15, 2022 ... and it's fully booked with 35 participants! Our club is sponsoring two wonderful students to attend. The program is an intensive training program that brings together young adults to further develop character and leadership skills and learn about Rotary. On the Sunday afternoon, RYLA is providing an opportunity for RYLARIANS to meet ROTARIANS for one-on-one chats for Rotarians to share their vocational experience with these future captains of industry (which we're sure they will become). 
     
    Please register if you meet the criteria that our District 7080 RYLA program is seeking, as described below.
