A Spalding man who earned the Rotary Young Leadership Award has been recounting his rewarding experience.
At Grafham Water last year are (from left) Spalding and Welland Rotary Club candidate Ash Forman, South Holland Rotarian Peter Kite and The Rotary Club of South Holland candidate Jack Wycherley.
Jack Wycherley (26) was The Rotary Club of South Holland candidate and went to a members’ meeting on Tuesday (January 10) to be presented with the award and talk about his experiences at Grafham Water, near Huntingdon, last July.
He spoke about the friends he had made, the outward bound and team exercises he took part in and how he felt it would support him in his work at The Priory School in Spalding.
Jack is currently studying to further his career and become a Higher Level Teaching Assistant. His goal is to become a teacher and he felt the RYLA experience would give him insight into making him a more effective leader.
“The Rotary Club of South Holland would like to wish Jack good luck in his future career,” said a spokesman.
RYLA is a leadership development programme which focuses on secondary school and university students, as well as young professionals.
Events cover a variety of topics including, basics of leadership, communication skills, problem solving and conflict management. The aim is to foster community and global citizenship.
Last year’s Rotary District 1070 candidates at Grafham Water.
