RYDA - Rotary Youth Driver Awareness

Young woman driving carRYDA (through Road Safety Education) is a series of practical and powerful workshops that aim to change the way young people think about road safety. RYDA is designed for 16-18 year old students who are approaching that crucial time in their lives where they start to drive independently or are travelling as passengers of novice drivers.

The RYDA Program is held at Sydney Olympic Park, Homebush.

As a Community Partner, Rotary provides the RYDA Program with access to a vast volunteer support base and introduction to many community groups including schools and local business organisations.

Members of the Rotary Club of Concord play an important role at RYDA days by acting as guides for each of the student groups participating in the six program sessions. Club members provide organisational skills and long-term commitment to the Program as Day Manager at the Homebush RYDA venue.
