Rotary Club International Exchange Program

ROTARY CLUB INTERNATIONAL EXCHANGE PROGRAM

If you are between the ages of 15 and 19, in the top third of your graduating class, and want to be a world traveler, the Rotary Club of Milton could give you a ticket for a great experience you will remember your whole life.

The Rotary offers two student exchange opportunities – a long term and a short term. The student selected for the long term exchange will attend secondary school overseas for one year with room, board, and schooling provided by the host Rotary Club. The Milton student selected for the short-term exchange will go overseas for approximately three to six weeks during the summer and will stay with a Rotary family who also has a teenage student. At the end of the visit, the foreign teenager will spend about three weeks with the Milton student’s family.

Seven thousand students from more than 80 countries take part in Rotary Youth Exchanges annually. The Rotary Club, a worldwide organization of business and community leaders dedicated to “service above self”, is uniquely positioned to offer this program.

Milton has hosted students from Chile, Ukraine, France, Thailand and Brazil over the past five years. Having foreign students in Milton makes a richer educational experience for all students, and teaches them about the world as no other way can. Additional information about the Rotary Exchange Program and applications are available in the Guidance Office.
