The 2026 Rotary District 6970 RYLA brought together high school students from across the District for an inspiring weekend at Stetson University in DeLand. Throughout the weekend, students learned more about Rotary, strengthened their leadership skills, built new friendships, and worked side by side on meaningful service projects.

From thoughtful conversations to hands-on teamwork, these students showed what it means to lead with purpose and serve with heart. Their energy, ideas, and passion for making a difference were a powerful reminder that the future of service is in great hands.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this year’s RYLA such a meaningful experience for our students. Together, we are helping develop the next generation of leaders who are ready to create lasting impact in their schools, communities, and beyond.
