“Leadership Begins With Me”


Hey Loyalist!

The Career Centre blog will be experiencing an overhaul. Next week I will be taking part in Ryla (The Rotary Youth Leadership Awards) with two other fellow students Luc Fonurnier and Amanda Deeth. This program is designed for young individuals who are 19-22 years of age. This program allows the candidates to get to know themselves better and to cultivate the respect and trust of others. Individuals will also be able to identify their own leadership skills and determine ways to seek effective resources.

So the plan! This year Loyalist College has the opportunity to host The Rotary Youth Leadership Awards. The three of us students will be taking part in small group discussions, recreational activities, simulated games, and leisure activities to build our leadership skills.

This wouldn’t have been possible without our local Rotary Club, district 7070. Thanks to our sponsors, we have been given this great opportunity to attend this leadership training course. Now I bet you all are wondering what Rotary is…well The Rotary foundation provides humanitarian services as well as helps build goodwill and peace in the world.

Seeking more information or wanting to get involved? Contact Geoffrey Cudmore (GCudmore@Loyalistc.on.ca) at Loyalist College. He is the coordinator for the student run Rotaract Club of Loyalist College.

Stay tuned for Ryla updates coming next week…….

Cheers,

Erin
