Testimonials
Don’t just take our word for it; RYLA has positively influenced many young leaders in our local community, check out what they had to say…
Never would I have thought one week could make such a difference. RYLA proved to be a most challenging and rewarding journey.
RYLA was a both a challenging and rewarding experience. During the intensive, seven day Seminar, not only did we have access to some of Australia’s most influential speakers but we were given opportunities to put our leadership skills into practical application. RYLA provided me the tools and qualities I needed to become motivated, skilled and confident leader.
Whatever you wish for in life, RYLA can get you that bit closer. Stop daydreaming and start doing.
A great opportuntity to grow and learn as a person, develop life long skills and be inspired to be the best you can be!
The opportunity to attend RYLA has been one of the most positive experiences in my life so far. I went to the seminar with little understanding of the concept of RYLA but knew this was going to be the opportunity of a life time. I walked away a better individual, team member and leader.
It is difficult to do the RYLA experience justice with words alone. The seminar is a rollercoaster of emotion and learning that pushes you to challenge yourself and broaden your perspective of the world. At the end of the week you come out with a a greater understanding of yourself, an appreciation for the myriad of opportunities at your feet and the motivation to face them head on. RYLA is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I would recommend to any young person.
I applied to attend RYLA after being harassed by a friend telling me I "must do it". All I can say is, I will follow her orders without question from now on! RYLA was a phenomenal week of my life, it cannot be explained as until you experience it for yourself, you will never understand how this little 'camp' can have such a huge impact. Suffice to say I am smiling, motivated, more positive, made amazing friends and have more belief in myself than I ever thought I would. If the day you are reading this ends in 'Y' you should apply to RYLA!
RYLA gave me a once off experience of a lifetime, and came at a time that I needed, it has given me more confidence & motivation to achieve more from my life. RYLA helped me boost my self esteem and given me amazing new friends.
