Assistant Governors

As an AG for your clubs, you can play a key roll in helping to facilitate and promote the Rotary Youth Exchange Program.

You are always invited to attend the training that we provide for YEOs ...they typically happen on the last Saturday of February, and the near the last Saturday of August ... please see the calendar for exact dates.

The information you will get at PETS will hopefully be valuable, but will tend to be brief, and of course, comes at a time when you are presented with a lot of other information.

Clubs will tend to have similar problems, and so by helping them to communicate with each other, you can help them problem solve.

Common problems include:

* How to find host families

* How to promote the program

* How to get a YEO in the club from the members

* How to get more information on the program.

Please note that clubs can help each other ... if one of your area's clubs is very small, and cannot get a member to become a YEO, you can ask a neighboring club if they might "lend" their YEO services to that club ... that way the small club can contribute funding and support, but the larger club can help with a trained individual.

You can also remind and encourage clubs with current students (either Inbound, Outbound, or Rebound) to send a representative to the District Conference to help share ideas, gather new ideas, and in general "show off" the club's achievements.
