Welcome

 

Rotary International's Youth Exchange program offers a transformative, year-long study abroad experience for high school students, between the ages of 15 and 18 1/2. This program provides deep cultural immersion and global citizenship by allowing participants to live with several host families and attend local schools as integrated members of their new community. Supported by a dedicated network of Rotarian volunteers, students develop crucial leadership skills, master a new language, and build life-long international connections. This comprehensive program provides an enriching, life-altering opportunity to broaden horizons and foster global understanding in a cost-effective manner.

 

The Bemidji Rotary Club has been a long-time supporter and active participant in Rotary Youth Exchange.
