... making a difference!
Youth Exchange is a Rotary-sponsored program that provides thousands of young people with the opportunity to meet people from other lands and to experience their cultures through long-term exchanges of an academic year or short-term exchanges of up to three months.
High school students between the ages of 15 and 18.5 are eligible to participate.
These exchanges plant the seeds for a lifetime of international understanding. Exchange students are ambassadors of the Rotary clubs that sponsor them and of their country. Rotary clubs and communities benefit by having students from another country in the community for an extended period of time. Rotary is committed to creating and maintaining the safest possible environment for all participants in its programs, including Youth Exchange.
Rotary's fees are much more affordable than any other exchange program. The costs include: $900 fee to cover expenses associated with your exchange $485 insurance (cost varies year to year but this was the cost for 2011-12) $1200 - $2800 open ended round trip plane ticket and visa
A $350 deposit is due at the time of your interview with the balance of the fee due by April 1. The insurance and flight payments are due a few weeks before you leave the country. Most students leave in August and return home in June.
Go to www.ohioerie.org if you are interested in becoming an outbound exchange student. The deadline for outbound applications is November 1, 2011 for students wanting to go abroad during the 2021-13 school year. Interviews for potential outbounds will be on November 19, 2011 and the place has yet to be determined. The location is usually Crossville or Knoxville.
