Study abroad programs create worlds of possibilities, lifelong memories and new friendships for both students and the families they live with during their time away. Designed for high school students, Rotary Exchange offers a fun, yet safe way to travel and immerse yourself in another country. In addition to building lifelong skills in leadership, understanding of other perspectives, and the ability to adapt to new environments, Rotary exchange students build lifelong friendships.
