Youth Exchange

 

Are you interested in learning a new language or meeting new people? Rotary Youth Exchange is the opportunity of a lifetime for the more than 8,000 students who participate each year. By sharing your own culture and embracing a new one, you help foster global understanding—and learn a great deal about yourself and your home country in the process.

 

Youth Exchange is a study-abroad opportunity for young people who spend anywhere from 3 months to a full year as an international student hosted by local Rotary clubs.
