District 6760’s RYLA is a life-changing, leadership-building experience hosted at Austin Peay State University. Young leaders throughout Tennessee gather to be “comfortable being uncomfortable”, to communicate as a team, and lift each other up. From community service project planning, to breaking through their goals, to being challenged 50-feet up in the air, 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.
