CULTIVATING YOUTH LEADERSHIP
The Rotary Club of Chapel Hill has a strong tradition of supporting youth leadership programs such as Rotaract and Rotary Youth Leadership Awards.
Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) is a program that encourages servant leadership in youth by recognizing and rewarding deserving 11th-grade students who are chosen to attend RYLA as an “award” for their past and present leadership and service activities. These select young people attend an all-expenses-paid camp where they are inspired by a diverse group of exceptional speakers, make life-long friends through fellowship activities, and discuss the ethical and social issues of today. The result is that these students return to their schools and communities motivated to take on additional leadership roles and to find additional ways to serve.

U.N.C. HOSPITAL KIOSK NOW FULLY OPEN!
In January 2026 the UNC Hospitals placed a permanent plaque acknowledging our club, East Chapel Hill and Chapel Hill-Carrboro, as well as, District 7710. The hospital administrators, club members and the district were present for the dedication.
One of the distinctive features about the Ronald McDonald Hospitality Kiosk in the NCCC made possible by the Rotary Club is that it is open 24/7 for use by all families receiving care for their critically care newborns. In addition to the round the clock gathering space, coffee, water, snacks, and complimentary items, volunteers staff the space for additional offerings and make rounds to bring items to the newborn bedsides in the NCCC. This allows unique items such as infant board books, toiletry packs, journals, socks, and more to be directly passed out along with information on the kiosk and a caring touch to be brought into the NCCC even when parents are holding or feeding their little one or spending precious moments together.
