6. Exchange Programs

7. LONG-term exchanges
usually last one year, during
which you attend school and
live with families in your host
country.
To gain a greater Under-
standing of the culture,
you will live with at least two,
preferably three, host families
during your stay. To ensure
your safety, the host Rotary
club conscientiously screens
and selects all host families.

8. Short-term exchanges vary in
length from several days to several
weeks.
Although you generally would not
attend school in the host country,
you may be able to tailor the
exchange to match your interests or
to include tours of specific places or
regions.
The four most common types of
short-term exchanges are home
stays, tours, family-to-family, and
international youth camps.

9. New Generations exchanges usually last from a few weeks to three months, making this a suitable option for recent secondary school graduates, young professionals, and Rotaractors. These exchanges may be arranged for individuals or groups and can involve home-stays, tours, or camps.
Exchanges can also include a vocational element, and some districts offer specialized internships, depending on where your exchange takes place.
New Generations exchanges provide the opportunity to learn about a different culture while fostering goodwill & understanding.
