Looking for an exciting new projected for your club in 2015? 

Hosting a Rotary Youth Exchange Student is the ideal program that your whole club can participate. Here are 7 reasons why your club should consider hosting an exchange student:

1. Rotary Youth Exchange Program is one of the most recognized youth exchange programs in the world.

2. Each year over 7000 secondary school students between the ages of 16 and 17 participate in this program worldwide.

3. Home hosting a Rotary exchange student is an opportunity to be part of this exciting and rewarding Rotary program.

4. Rotarians and friends voluntarily open their homes to exchange students as host families for periods of approximately 3 or 4 months.

5. Host clubs and families develop a lifetime of friendships, learn about a different culture and gain many other rewarding experiences.

6. When you host a student in your home you give members of  your club an opportunity to broaden their horizons and those of their families.

7. Rotary Youth Exchange is a perfect opportunity for everyone to learn, to grow and to participate in the promotion of international understanding and friendship.

Our Rotary D9800 and D9780 Youth Exchange Students and Committee member Leaders continue to be impressed by the Australian panoramas and our unique environment. The Safari bus group has travelled from King’s Canyon to Alice Springs, (the heart of the Red Centre in the MacDonnell Ranges), to Standley Chasm, Simpson’s Gap, Devils Marbles, Tenant Creek, Mount Isa, Charters Towers, Airlie Beach, the Great Barrier Reef and Great Keppel Island.  Following this, it’s on to the Gold Coast, Coffs Harbour, Sydney then they return home to D9800 and D9780.  No doubt the Host Families will be pleased to welcome their students back into their homes to hear about their trip and adventures
