Rotary Youth Program of Enrichment



Rotary Youth Program of Enrichment
The Rotary Youth Program of Enrichment (RYPEN) is a program of weekend seminars for young people between the ages of 14 and 17 years.

Its principal aim is the communication of a series of ideas, problems and social experiences, which will assist the young participants in forming their own values and moral standards.

The weekend camp also features activities designed to facilitate trust building, working in groups, self esteem building and content and process skills for young people.

RYPEN is different from many other youth programs in that it aims for the average student and not for the outstanding few. The program caters for teenage boys and girls who have shown some qualities of decency, courage, persistence, sincerity and application in everyday life, which deserve further development.

The unique experience each participant gains from
RYPEN is consolidated by the development of new friendships, 50 other peers sharing along with them the common bonds of learning, co-operation and friendship. RYPEN undoubtedly broadens each participant's horizons culturally, socially and academically, providing the inner foundations for a strong future.
