WHAT IS A ROTARY YOUTH EXCHANGE?
 
Rotary has been organizing youth exchanges for over 60 years, providing incredible opportunities for young people to see the world, experience a different way of life, maybe learn another language, make international friends and discover a lot about themselves whilst acting as an ambassador for their own country.
 
Each year, worldwide, over 8000 young people enjoy the experience of a lifetime through Rotary Youth Exchange.
 
Parents and guardians can be assured that Rotary is committed to maintaining a safe environment through policies designed to ensure the health, safety and welfare of all participants in the programs.
 
 
Rotary Youth Exchange Program includes
  • Long-term exchange (One year)
  • Short-term exchange (summer camps or family-to-family)
 
What do we expect from an Exchange Student?
  • Participation in Club activities - different charity and fundraising activities organized by Rotary / Rotaract.
  • Participation in 1-2 Rotary meetings per month.
  • Presentation of how they are doing and what they have learned.
 
CAN I HOST AN EXCHANGE STUDENT?
  • YES, Hosting an exchange student can be an incredibly rewarding experience for your family, providing an international experience without leaving home. Host families provide room and board and share their lives with exchange students, involving them in family, community, and cultural activities.
