Rotary Short Term Youth Exchange Program (STEP) Update
- Six clubs have decided to participate, so far.
- Posters and applications are in 10 schools
- Application deadline extended to Jan 31, 2019
- It is not too late for clubs to join in.
What’s so great about STEP?
- It’s affordable: Students and their families pay travel expenses and modest fees for administration and insurance.
- It’s simple: Local Rotarians promote the program and help students and their families apply. Rotary’s Eastern States Student Exchange (ESSEX) arranges the matches, and the families make their own travel arrangements.
- It’s for everyone: Anyone aged 15 to 18 1/2 is eligible.
- It’s flexible: There is no set schedule for travel. Families decide everything for themselves.
- It’s powerful: These summer exchanges are life-changing.
