District 5690 - Rotary Youth Leadership Awards

Some people may define a leader as one who mediates and is in charge of a group or activity. However, a true leader is a servant first. This year’s SC/Rotary Leadership Camp theme, "The Adventure is Out There" encompasses the responsibility of being a servant leader. The camp will be held May 26-31, 2012, on the Southwestern College (Winfield) campus. Participating youth will learn about themselves and others, about motivation and teamwork. They will discover that they can't be a leader without being a servant first.

"You cannot be a leader, and ask other people to follow you, unless you know how to follow, too."

—Sam Rayburn

By the end of the week, the campers will have broadened their perception of leaders as position holders to leaders as partners with followers in efforts for positive change" says Cheryl Rude, director of Leadership Southwestern. "The camp also gives them opportunities for service above self, which is the theme of Rotary."

This is the 17th year that Rotary and Leadership Southwestern have teamed up to put on the camp. Dean Kennedy, district chairman for RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Awards), says Rotary and Leadership Southwestern are a good team.

The camp is for students who have completed ninth grade but not yet graduated high school.
