Ted Goldwyn introduced Christina Twiggs and McKenna Roth, the two Corning-Painted Post High School students who represented our Club at the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards camp this year, held from June 25-29 on the FLCC Canandaigua campus. We typically host only one student to RYLA each year, so we were very fortunate to have these two amazing and ambitious students representing our Club this year.

 

McKenna and Christina shared a presentation with photos from their camp experience. Highlights included a variety of team-building and leadership development events, a juggler, team song creation, a free-standing tower activity, a guest speaker from the Relief Corps, and a guest speaker on solar power. They also engaged in an enlightening diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) session and activities focused on self-care and mental health. Key takeaways for the students included learning what makes a true leader, what makes a good team, the importance of DEI, actions and their consequences, various styles of leadership, teamwork and team bonding, and learning about Rotary's mission and values. You really need to watch the video to capture the full impact and tone of their poised and mature presentation. 

 

Video will be available next week.
