ROTARY YOUTH PROGRAM OF ENRICHMENT (RYPEN)

RYPEN - developing and building confidence in young people

In today’s competitive world, there are not always opportunities for the average student to step outside their comfort zone, explore their ideas to develop the “life skills” that translate to confidence in everyday life.

RYPEN aims to provide young people aged 14 to 17 years with the opportunity to develop their leadership potential, alongside their peers in a supportive environment. RYPEN encourages awardees to explore their ideas in problem solving, team and group activities, and gain experiences that will assist them in forming their own values and moral standards. As a part of this, RYPEN is about building confidence and developing skills to cope in a range of situations.

RYPEN is also about having fun and broadening the cultural, social and academic horizons of participants.
