The Wachusett Area Rotary Club announced that it will sponsor two local students, Emily O’Connor of Holden and Adalynn Nietsche of Rutland, to attend this year’s Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) Conference to be held in June.
Savvas Fotiadis, local Committee Chairperson said that the chosen students will be among the more than 150 Massachusetts high school sophomores who will attend the RYLA Conference.
Aimed at developing the leadership potential of young men and women, the conference will feature many thought-provoking events including interactive Leadership Labs, exciting guest speakers, and challenging mental and physical activities that will provide the participants with a chance to excel amongst and with their peers. Topics will include decision-making, critical thinking, communicating effectively, ethics, and public service.
To be chosen, the candidates needed to qualify by showing leadership potential, good citizenship characteristics and a strong desire to attend and benefit from the conference - then stand out from other applicants during an interview process.
Congratulations from the Wachusett Area Rotary to the students and their families!
