The Rotary Club of Sussex and Rotary District 7810 are pleased to have hosted Rotary Youth Leadership Awards 2019 at @Kingswood University right here in the Town of Sussex, NB, on May 17 and 18, 2019. Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) is an intensive leadership experience organized by Rotary clubs and districts where participants develop their skills as leaders while having fun and making connections.
During this weekend, 31 students participated in the iChoose Youth Leadership Values Program. The iChoose Program comprises of 16 lessons (we covered 8 of them) intending to help teenagers learn leadership values and teach them how to apply them to their own lives from leadership expert John C. Maxwell. These values are recognized by some of the largest and most successful companies in the world.
We were also fortunate enough to have Ben Whalen from Kennebecasis Watershed Restoration Committee lead us in an environmental community service project!
The students and leaders helped harvest some willow stock and picked up 100 lbs of garbage from along Trout Creek! Way to go, everybody! 🙌
