Rotary Youth Exchange is an exchange program designed for high school students to study in a different environment. The exchange program aims to promote the advancement of international understanding, peace at the person-to-person level and goodwill. By participating in the program, students can help bring the world closer and make some good friends in the process. They'll learn a new way of living, a new language and maybe a great deal about themselves. The company spokesperson said, "The Rotary Youth Exchange program provides thousands of young students with the opportunity to meet people from other countries and to experience new cultures. It also offers an opportunity for students to plant the seeds for a lifetime of international understanding. The program provides not only numerous benefits to the young participants but also their Rotarian hosts and mentors as well as to the community at large. Through the exchange, students learn firsthand about all aspects of life in another country. As their concept of the world expands, we believe students will mature and develop a deeper understanding of themselves. Also, the immersion in another country's educational system enhances their academic and personal growth."
Find gap year programs abroad at Rotary Youth Exchange. The program is typically less stressful for students as no academic credits are needed for graduation from their high school back home. In the program, students will be living with at least two to three host families during their stay in the country of their exchange so that they may gain a deeper understanding of the culture. To ensure students safety during their stay, the local host Rotary club will always be paying them a monthly stipend and assign a dedicated counselor to assist the students in getting the most out of the exchange. By participating in the gap year program, Rotary Youth Exchange assures students that they won't come out the same as they came in. They will become a global citizen whose perspective about people in different countries around the world will be changed forever.
The company spokesperson added, "Flexibility in the exchange program allows it to be adapted to fit the needs of any student who qualifies. As with the program, volunteer support ensures its success. Eligible students for the exchange program are those who are between the age of 15 and 19 at the time of their departure, must have completed the written application and must be sponsored by a local Rotary club."
