Rotary Youth Programme of Enrichment (RYPEN)
RYPEN is aimed at young people in the 15 –17 age group who are still at school and are not likely to be selected for Youth Exchange or later for RYLA, but who possess qualities of decency, persistence and application and who deserve further encouragement.cially, culturally and physically.
 
It is suggested that students who have participated in previous outdoor education activities do not attend e.g. Outward Bound, Spirit of New Zealand, or any college outdoor pursuit type course. For details of the programme contact the convener.

There are 5 documents which all clubs need to download, read, pass to the relevant person and ensure paperwork is completed by due dates. There is a zip file of all the documents as well. We recommend clubs liaise with their local High School. Clubs are reminded that RYPEN functions best when the participants are an even mix of boys and girls. Any queries can be directed to the RYPEN Organising Committee at: rypen9940@gmail.com
 
You can find those documents in document library here. Scroll down to YOUTH ACTIVITIES then RYPEN.
