Delegates to the Rotary Youth Leadership Academy are members of a chosen few, selected because of their scholastic, athletic and civic achievements as well as their personality and desire to improve themselves. The hope of Rotary is to send them home better equipped to face the world by utilizing leadership developed during these three days. Delegates are tomorrow’s leaders and are selected and sponsored by the Cary Kildaire Rotary Club. There is no cost to the delegates or their family.
