Youth Exchange is a life altering experience for many of our outbound students and quite frankly, the same could be said for our host parents. Most parents and families stay in close contact with their exchange students over their lifetimes. Seeing those students in their home countries make for the very best travel experiences. If you know of a student who would like to go abrouad, clubs need to be prepared to find at least two host families for each outbound student to reciprocate for an inbound foreign student.

Rotary Youth Exchange builds peace one young person at a time. Students learn a new language, discover another culture, and truly become global citizens. Exchanges for students ages 15-19 are sponsored by Rotary clubs in more than 100 countries. Rotary Youth Exchange inspires young leaders to serve as catalysts for peace and social justice in their local communities and throughout the world, long after their exchanges end. This program is possible because of the dedication, leadership, and passion of the tens of thousands of volunteers — Rotary members and nonmembers alike — who make this unique program so successful.
