Youth Exchange News

IT'S BACK - YOUTH EXCHANGE IS BACK!

And we couldn’t be happier! All 8 of our inbound students have arrived to their host clubs in Canada and the US coming to us from Spain, France, Italy, Germany, Japan, Brazil, Sweden and Denmark. We also have 7 lucky outbounds on exchange to those countries. It feels like there is some pent up excitement around the program and students are already emailing me to find out if clubs in their area are sponsoring students! We hope we can give them good news, so if your clubs is on the fence about getting involved with youth exchange please contact me right away.
 
 
Recruitment is on going and students can be directed to our website for information about both the long term and short term programs. The cost of the long term program remains the same ($850 for inbounds and $400 for outbounds) and short term is free! You should also know that Rotary International has relaxed the rules around host families so you only need to have 2 per student now. There’s never been a better time to give a student this life changing experience. Feel free to contact me Jill Norton, D7090 YE Chair at (jillnortonye7090@gmail.com) if you would like more information about the program.
