Positive Peace RYLA is a virtual leadership retreat for RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Awards) Alumni. If you have attended RYLA, currently live in the United States and are age 17-20, this retreat is for you!

During Positive Peace RYLA, attendees will work together in a massive cooperative game that explores the 8 Pillars of Peace (Institute of Economics and Peace). Participants will rotate through different fictional nations, working together to try to bring the nations to a better, more peaceful state.This retreat builds on the skills you learned at RYLA, and provides you with real-world problem-solving, conflict resolving, peace-building skills.

This program is for those who truly wish to be the change in the world, whether on a global scale or within your own community. In addition to peace-building skills, attendees will be developing other top skills employers and colleges are looking for today, such as: Communication, Innovation, Adaptability, Navigating Ambiguity, Collaboration and so much more!

Positive Peace RYLA is held 100% online and synchronous (everyone on at the same time). Participants will be working with other RYLA Alumni from all over the United States. This will create the opportunity for networking  with others from around the country.  The plan is to expand Peace RYLA to students in other countries next.
