What an exciting adventure awaits you, as a potential Rotary Exchange student or program volunteer, look to expand your horizons as they've never been expanded before. We invite you to explore our site, learn more about the program, and, if it's right for you, take those first steps toward one of the most amazing, memorable, adventurous years of your life.
About Youth Exchange:
Every year some 8,000 teens from dozens of countries will see the world the way it is best seen - from the inside out - through Rotary's Youth Exchange program.
As a Rotary Youth Exchange student, you will spend a year living on a cultural exchange with several host families in a country other than your own. Not only will you learn a new language; you will learn a new way of living - and a great deal about yourself. But there's more. While you're busy learning, the people you meet will be learning too - about your country, your culture, and your ideas. You will be a young ambassador. You will be helping to bring the world closer together - and you'll be making some good friends in the process. Explore our site if you're ready for the challenge - and the rewards - of living in another land as an exchange student.
Host family members and Rotary Volunteers learn from the experience as well. You will learn about the student's country, culture, and ideas. Youth exchange students are true ambassadors, helping to bring the world closer together and making good friends in the process.
District 6440 also has a Short-Term Youth Exchange program, which is a reciprocal program where kids will spend 3-6 weeks abroad, and a child from their host family will stay with them for a similar period - generally during the summer.
District 6440's Youth Exchange team leaders are listed below, along with their email addresses. Feel free to contact them with any questions or comments you may have about Rotary's Youth Exchange program.
RYE Chairman: William (Bill) Summers
