Rotary Youth Leadership Awards
From: Katrina Salazar
Subject: RYLA Application - Due 3/22/10 by 9am
Thank you for sharing information about the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards with your teachers and students.
Rotary of Sacramento is sending two 11th grade students (one male and one female) to our Rotary
Youth Leadership Camp.
Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) is an intensive training program for community youth leaders.
Young people chosen for their leadership potential attend an all-expenses-paid seminar, camp, or
workshop to discuss leadership skills and to learn those skills through practice.
We are seeking applications from students with leadership potential.
The awardees will attend one week of camp at Grizzly Creek Ranch in Portola, CA on either:
Camp 1: June 14-June 19 OR
Camp 2: June 21-June 26
It is imperative that students be available for the entire week of camp. Scheduling conflicts that
require a student to come late, leave early, or miss a mid-week portion will disqualify the applicant.
Transportation to and from the camp is included and students will be traveling by bus with other
regional area RYLA Campers.
More information about the camp can be found at www.camp-ryla.org.
Additional questions can be directed to the Rotary of Sacramento RYLA Chairperson, Katrina Salazar:

Happy New Year! I am pleased to share with you the 2010 eligibility

The Sacramento Region Community Foundation scholarship funds provide an
opportunity for donors to honor their loved ones, acknowledge and
support the hard work and community involvement of local students and
help the next generation of community leaders develop the skills they
need to be successful. The Community Foundation manages over 25
scholarship funds, which were established by local individuals,
families, businesses and organizations. Foundation scholarships provide
tuition assistance and recognition to students as they strive to achieve
a wide range of goals through the pursuit of higher education.
Each scholarship fund has its own unique criteria for selecting
recipients, including academic achievement, financial need, educational

the Sacramento Region Community Foundation awarded over $700 thousand in
