Rotary Youth Exchange is a study-abroad opportunity for young people to spend anywhere from a few weeks to a full year as an international student hosted by local Rotary clubs. By sharing your own culture & embracing a new one, you help foster global understanding - & learn a great deal about yourself & your country in the process.
