For the Rotary International Convention in Hamburg, Germany, June 1-5, 2019. You've seen what Rotary is as a club, some of you have seen what Rotary is as a district, what an experience it would be to see if as a whole international community. This is a great place to get ideas, share stories, meet people from all around the world, find projects to work together on, and come back with a renewed energy for the work we do. 

 

Rotary Youth Exchange builds peace one young person at a time. Students learn a new language, discover another culture, and truly become global citizens. Exchanges for students ages 15-19 are sponsored by Rotary clubs in more than 100 countries.

What are the benefits?

Exchange students unlock their true potential to:

• Develop lifelong leadership skills
• Learn a new language and culture
• Build lasting friendships with young people from around the world
• Become a global citizen

How long do exchanges last?

Long-term exchanges last a full academic year, and students attend local schools and live with multiple host families.

Short-term exchanges last from several days to three months and are often structured as camps, tours, or homestays that take place when school is not in session.
