Rotary Youth Exchange

Rotary clubs channel their commitment to service at home and abroad through five Avenues of Service, which are the foundation of club activity. Youth Service, one of the five, recognizes the importance of empowering youth through leadership development programs. Rotary Youth Exchange is one of many youth leadership development programs offered by Rotary and was started in 1920 by Rotary International. This year our club is sponsoring one outbound and one inbound student.  

During our Oct 12th meeting I will introduce the club to our Youth Exchange Program and ways to get involved and help, how our club co-ordinates with District 7340, and the Eastern States Student Exchange (ESSEX) consortium.  The highlight of the evening is that I will introduce you to our inbound student, Daphne - all the way from Belgium, to tell you about herself and her exchange experience so far.
