To ensure your safety, the host Rotary club conscientiously screens and selects all host families.

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.
