The Hebden Bridge Rotary Club’s RYLA co-ordinator said: “A place on this course is a fantastic opportunity for personal development - I’m always amazed at the change in our candidates over the four days of the course.
“The programme activities are conducted by experienced professional instructors who have worked with Rotary for many years.
“Peer and self assessment will be managed with ‘one to one’ feedback from a mentor where personal development is linked directly to course activities.”
