Rotary Youth Exchange – DISTRICT 5160

Rotary Youth Exchange is about much more than sending a student to another country. It’s about bringing people, families, communities, and cultures together.

For students, it’s an opportunity to experience life in another part of the world, learn a new culture and language, build lifelong friendships, and discover a new sense of independence and confidence.

For host families, it’s an opportunity to welcome the world into their home—sharing everyday life while learning about another culture and building a relationship that often lasts long after the exchange ends.

For Rotary clubs and communities, Youth Exchange brings Rotary’s mission of promoting peace and international understanding to life – one student, one family, and one friendship at a time.

Every exchange creates connections that reach far beyond one student or one year.

Whether you’re ready to explore the world, welcome it into your home, or help make an exchange possible, there’s a place for you in Rotary Youth Exchange.
