Student Selection 

Remember, RYLA is geared toward proven and experienced leaders. It's not for students who want to learn leadership skills for the first time.  ​The best way to get a large selection of high-quality applicants is to work with your school site liaisons, usually a teacher or counselor, to encourage known leaders to apply.  During the mandatory interview process, you can explore each student's background and experience. Here are some sample interview questions.
