2024 Alumni
Each year, select participants of the previous year's RYLA conference are selected to return as alumni. Alumni play an instrumental role in planning and hosting RYLA. This is an outstanding opportunity for high school seniors to continue their leadership journey while ensuring the RYLA planning committee is in touch with the needs and values of RYLA participants.
