YUNLING · YOUTH SERVICE & DEVELOPMENT
Youth service & development
From a first brave step to growth with support. Explore leadership, international exchange, educational assistance and career learning—and find your next step.
01 · FIND YOUR PATH
Four core programmes
RYLA · Rotary Youth Leadership Awards
Practise communication, problem-solving and leadership through teamwork—not just a lecture.
Who it is for
Young people interested in leadership. Rotary generally serves ages 14–30; each event sets its own eligibility.
What happens
Workshops, team challenges, discussion and service learning. Formats may include seminars, camps or a series of activities.
Before applying
Check District 3470's annual age limits, places, dates, fees and nomination process. This introduction does not mean Yunling is recruiting.
RYE · Rotary Youth Exchange
Live and learn in another culture while developing independence and understanding.
Who it is for
Students and parents interested in intercultural learning. Rotary generally serves ages 15–19; districts may use a narrower range.
What happens
Long-term exchange usually lasts an academic year, with local schooling and host families. Short-term exchange may last several days to three months through camps, visits or homestays.
Before applying
Outbound and hosting responsibilities differ. Confirm selection, language preparation, insurance, costs, parental consent and hosting arrangements under the current district rules.
Rotary Children
Continuing educational companionship and assistance for children and families.
Who it is for
Children and families assessed and matched through the annual project, schools or partners—not only Rotarians' children.
What happens
Connect club members, schools and partners. Record matching, support delivered and outcomes separately, without double-counting across projects.
Before applying
Eligibility, support and matching follow the annual scheme. Contact the club; do not post children's personal information publicly.
Life Bridge education programme
Helping young people continue their studies and explore careers with professional companionship.
Who it is for
Students nominated by partner schools and selected under the annual rules. Enrolment and eligibility follow the project notice.
What happens
Combine educational assistance, mentoring and career learning. Yunling's existing project page remains the source for its plan and schedule.
Before applying
Check school nomination, selection, attendance and assistance rules. Planned budgets and places are not delivered outcomes.

Frequently asked questions
Can I apply for all four programmes on this website?
Not necessarily. This area provides information and enquiries; application links are provided only when a verified process is open. The club anniversary form is not a youth programme application.
Is RYE the same as an overseas club visit?
No. Student exchange involves selection, education, hosting and safeguarding. Club visits, conventions and friendship exchanges are different activities.
Does a past date prove an activity was completed?
No. Activity dates, publication dates and confirmed outcomes are distinguished. Unverified outcomes are not counted as completed results.
Who handles offers of volunteering, mentoring or resources?
Contact Yunling with the programme and help you can offer. The relevant team will confirm needs; participants and host families must still follow the organiser's procedures.
