Short Term Exchange Program seeks Students

About the Program
The purpose of the program is to promote international peace, goodwill and understanding through an exchange.
Rotary acts as the facilitator by matching students/families of similar age, sex and interests. Students have the chance to meet their exchange by social media and skype. 

One of the students will first visit the family he or she is matched with for a period of 3 to 4 weeks. Then, the two students will fly (usually together) to the other family and the process is reversed.

To be eligible students must be between the ages of 15 and 18.

Cost of the program is $200 administration fee, airfare, insurance and spending money.
