Rotary Youth Exchange (RYE) students discover another culture by living in it, learn a new language, and truly become global citizens.

The Program

• Offers an academic year or summer abroad
• Supports sending students abroad, outbound from our schools
• Supports hosting students inbound to our schools from abroad

Long-Term Exchanges
Last a full academic year, and students attend local schools and live with multiple Rotary-approved host families.

Short-Term Exchanges
Last from several days to three months and are often structured as Rotary-approved home-stays, tours, or camps,  that take place when school is not in session.
