Your chance to learn a new language, learn a new way of living and a great deal about yourself and the rest of the world.
While you are learning, the people you meet will be learning about your country, your culture and your ideas.

Since 1929, Rotary International has sent young people around the globe to experience new cultures. Generally, about 8,000 students are sponsored by Rotary clubs every year. Typically, students are sent to another country for a year-long stay, generally living with multiple host families during the year and being expected to perform daily tasks within the household as well as attend school in the host country
The Rotarians that participate in the program are volunteers. Many Rotarians are involved in various aspects of the youth exchange program including student selection, compliance with immigration and Rotary regulations, hosting, and supporting students. Each student is sponsored by a Rotary Club and Rotary District in their home country and is also hosted by a Rotary Club and Rotary District in their host country.
