Short Term Youth Exchange Program

The Rotary International Short Term Exchange Program (S.T.E.P.) is an opportunity for students to discover new horizons. Over a period of 6 to 8 weeks, they are young ambassadors, promoting friendship between Rotary Clubs and Rotarians and between schools, churches and families.

The main benefit of this program is the knowledge that the participants acquire. They learn lessons that equip them to become future leaders in their communities and beyond. This relates directly to Rotary's advancement of international understanding, goodwill and world peace.

Selection Process

In September, the Rotary Club of Midland accepts applications for the short term exchange. One or more students may be accepted into the program. The student will travel on their exchange the following July/August for 6-8 weeks. They will be hosted with the family of the returning exchange student. The returning exchange student will arrive the following January.
