We are looking for volunteers for two Camp RYLA committees:
 
1. Marketing Committee - We need your expertise to make our Camp RYLA website (www.campryla.org), social media, and other avenues grab the attention of students, schools and sponsoring clubs.  If your hot skills include marketing, communications, web/graphic design, or social media, this is the place for you!  Plan on a time commitment of one 60 min Zoom meeting per month now through Oct. in addition to 1-2 hours/month to execute tasks in your area of expertise. 
 
2. Curriculum Committee - Camp RYLA continues to foster young leaders but with changing generations, teaching methods and the lasting impacts on students of distance learning it is time to refresh our tried and true curriculum.  There are many resources available from Rotary International and hundreds of other RYLA programs we can learn from.  If you are interested in helping to modernize and upgrade the Camp RYLA curriculum, we have a place for you!    Plan on a time commitment of one 60 min Zoom meeting per month now through Dec. in addition to 1-2 hours/month to execute tasks, research, or curriculum workshops.  If you have experience or interest in this area, we could use your talents!
