We’re proud to host the 2026 Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA), a one-day leadership development experience designed for high-school sophomores and juniors across the Philadelphia region. This year’s program will take place on Saturday, March 7, 2026, at the Penn State Malvern campus. RYLA brings together young people who show curiosity, potential, and a desire to grow.

The final round of the Roger Taylor Rotary Speech Contest showcased talented young speakers before an audience of about 50 Rotary members, students, and community members. Contestants delivered original speeches on materialism, artificial intelligence, and historical accuracy, thoughtfully applying the Rotary 4-Way Test to real-world issues.
