Your 2026 Passion Project for Rotary Awaits

Are you ready to find a passion project that will reignite your Rotary spirit? Do you believe in being a light in the darkness and investing in the next generation of servant leaders? If so, Missouri RYLA is calling you!

Each summer, Missouri RYLA transforms the lives of nearly 200 high school students through our world-class leadership academy. Recognized by Rotary International as the model RYLA program worldwide, our proven curriculum (over 30 years strong!) teaches leadership, teamwork, and service in action.

Now, we’re inviting Rotarians to step in as Rotarian Counselors — mentors who model service, leadership, and compassion while guiding students through four unforgettable days of growth, connection and fun!!  

💫 What You’ll Do as a Rotarian Counselor

  • Share your love for Rotary and service
  • Mentor and encourage students eager to learn and lead
  • Guide small teams through interactive leadership sessions
  • Model strong values, teamwork, and joy in service

This experience will leave you inspired, hopeful, and renewed in your Rotary journey — all while shaping future leaders who will continue the mission of “Service Above Self.”
