Youth Exchange
BECOME A HOST FAMILY
By hosting a Youth Exchange student in your home, you’ll make a young person’s dream come true, and you and your family will share an unforgettable and fulfilling experience.
As a host family, you will
· Provide room and board
· Supervise the student just as you would your own children
· Involve the student in family activities and chores
· Enrich the exchange experience by including the student in family, community, and cultural activities
Host families aren’t compensated financially. The program is run entirely by dedicated volunteers, which helps keep costs low.

responsibilities, Rotary’s role, and frequently asked questions.
and find out if a club or district has listed its website with Rotary International.
Dedicated Rotarian volunteers have kept Youth Exchange vital for decades. Rotarians work behind the scenes to handle the logistics of each exchange. For long-term exchanges, the host club and district arranges school enrollment, tuition, and other educational matters. Youth Exchange officers are the program’s leaders. Elected at the club and district levels, these volunteers are trained to serve as liaisons between students and the district Youth Exchange committee.
