Preliminary applications are now available online for Rotary Youth Exchange. These can be a full school year to another country (long term exchange LT) or for a couple months during the summer (short term exchange ST). Age limit is 18.5 years old at time of arrival in the host country.

This is a great gap year after graduation if you are not sure what you want to do after high school, it has a great maturing effect on the student. Also, wonderful to experience another culture and learn or practice another language.

Stated deadlines are flexible, this program will be moving ahead under the assumption Covid will be less of a factor by the summer.

For more information and how to apply go to:  www.rotary.org/en/our-programs/youth-exchanges
