Youth Exchange

Since 1927, students and host families all over the world have had their horizons broadened and their lives enriched by the generosity of Rotary's Youth Exchange program. Administered by Rotary clubs, districts and multidistrict groups, the program today involves more than 82 countries and over 8,000 students each year.

Each year, more than 8,000 teens participate in Rotary International's Youth Exchange program. Youth Exchange students spend a year living with a host family in a country other than their own. They may learn a new language; they will learn a new way of living and a great deal about themselves. While they are busy learning, the people they meet learn as well - about the students' countries, cultures, and ideas. If you are ready for the challenge and the rewards of living in another land as an exchange student, then you are ready to discover new worlds through the Rotary Youth Exchange program.
