RIBI Youth Exchange Multi-District
Rotary Districts 1010 to 1290
Each year the Rotary Youth Exchange programme sends literally 'thousands' of young people, aged between 15 and 25 years of age, on the adventures of a lifetime. If you are ready for the challenge and the rewards of living in another country and experiencing another culture, then Rotary's Youth Exchange programme will enable you to discover yourself and obtain a broader view of the world and its inhabitants.


Long term exchanges usually last for a school year, during which time the student attends a school or college in the host country and lives with several host families. The age range for these exchanges is typically 16 to 19 years.


Short-term exchanges involve spending 3 weeks during the summer staying with an exchange partner and exploring a different country, another culture and possibly another language. And then, in return, hosting the same exchange partner for 3 weeks.


Rotary also organises special interest camps and tours which last between one and four weeks. Each Camp is attended by one or two people from each countery represented. The preferred language is normally English. There are also special Camps for physically handicapped students.



Some Districts offer young people, between the ages of 18 and 25, the opportunity to participate in a New Generations Exchanges. These are vocational exchanges and normally last from three to six weeks.
