Discover the World with Rotary Youth Exchange!

Is your teenager ready to embark on an unforgettable adventure? The Rotary Youth Exchange program offers an incredible opportunity for students to experience different cultures, build lifelong friendships, and develop essential leadership skills. Whether they’re looking to immerse themselves in a new language or explore the rich traditions of another country, this program is designed to broaden their horizons and enhance their global perspective.

Southwest students have recently studied in Spain, Austria, and Japan. And each student has life-long stories to share! Some have gone on exchange while in high school; others have gone on exchange as a gap year.

Why Choose Rotary Youth Exchange?

- Cultural Immersion: Live with host families and engage in local customs, making your experience truly authentic.

- Personal Growth: Gain confidence, independence, and adaptability as you navigate new environments.

- Global Network: Connect with fellow exchange students and Rotarians from around the world, creating friendships that last a lifetime.

Important Deadlines:

- Long-Term Exchange Applications: Due by November 15. This program typically lasts for a full academic year.

- Short-Term Exchange Applications: Due by December 7. Perfect for those looking for a summer adventure!
