The Facilitator Year
What does it mean to be a Facilitator?
The Facilitator Year is often noted as the most formidable experience along the RYLA leadership ladder. Facilitators have the chance to take what they've learned from their RYLA journey thus far, and begin applying it in a leadership capacity, all the while receiving guidance and mentorship from the RYLA team.
In order to become a Facilitator, RYLArians must complete the three steps outlined below in a demonstration of a commitment to the RYLA program, the communities we work with, and a desire to continue to commit yourself to Rotary's motto: "Service, Above Self."
Jesse Mayreis will be overseeing the Facilitator experience this year. If you have any questions throughout this process please reach out to Jesse at jessemayreis@ryladistrict7255.com.

01
RYLA Engagement
Perspective Facilitators are expected to remain engaged within the RYLA Community. The best way to do this is to join us for Summer and/or Fall RYLA. These programs are designed to prepare you for your role as a Facilitator!
Fall RYLA Registration is now open! Click here to register.
If you were unable to attend Summer RYLA and do not intend on joining us for Fall RYLA please reach out to Jesse Mayreis ASAP.
02
Rotary Engagement
RYLA wouldn't be possible without the support of our Rotary District 7255. We ask that all perspective Facilitators meet with their local Rotary Club to speak about their RYLA experience! Be sure to take a picture with the Club President or another Rotarian!

Rotary Clubs are happy to welcome RYLA participants to their meetings and are enthusiastic about the next generation of service leaders. Most meetings will include lunch or breakfast and offer the opportunity to perspective Facilitators to speak about what RYLA means to them.
If you need help finding a club or preparing for your meeting contact Jesse Mayreis!
