Become a Senior Counselor, and inspire youth to become Rotarian leaders!

What does Senior Counselor Mean?

Senior Counselors (SCs) are Rotarians who volunteer one week during the summer as a mentor to a team of teenagers sponsored by Rotary Clubs from Districts 5450 and 5440. SCs:
Work with a Junior Counselor (past RYLA attendee) to lead a team of 10-12 teenagers through an intense leadership conference.
Instruct the team on Rotary principals and educate youth about service.
Attend speakers, activities, and egg tosses with the team.
Have FUN!

“Serving as a RYLA SC has been the single most important event in my Rotary life.”
- Rolando Cuadrado—Summit County

“It thrills me to observe these young people taking on leadership roles to help others in the future. Such hope for our future leaders.”
- Gretchen MacArthur—Evergreen

Why Should I Give Up a Week and Spend it with Teenagers?

Where do I sign up??

SCs may apply for RYLA or Young RYLA at rmryla.org (bottom of the page).

“RYLA creates an environment that’s great fun while grabbing the hearts of the conferees...and you.”
- Jill Marce—Boulder

I am able to “watch the conferees blossom into young people totally ‘in service’ to others.”
- Peggy Halderman—Golden

“I became a SC after losing my grandson (age 16). I wasn't sure if I was up to the task, but felt ‘called’ to provide this service to Rotary and to youth. It very simply gave me back my life and gave me a new perspective on youth. And, I had FUN.”
- Karen Sekich—Past District Governor 5450
