YOUTH EXCHANGE
 
Give a young person the opportunity of a lifetime by starting a Rotary Youth Exchange. Exposure to new cultures and customs is a powerful way to promote global understanding and peace. And it’s not just students who benefit – your Rotary club and host families will too.
 
Exchanges can be short term or long term.

Short-term exchanges last from a few days to several months and often take place when school is not in session. Students typically stay with a local family in the host country, but they might also attend a youth camp or tour the country with students from around the world.

During a long-term exchange, students spend a year in another country living with different host families and attending classes at the local school.

Exchanges vary widely among districts, so contact your district’s Youth Exchange chair to learn what’s available in your area.
