Short Term Exchanges

What are Short Term Exchanges?...

Short-term exchanges involve spending a minimum of 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 a similar period.

Am I eligible?..

  • You are 15-19 years old.

  • You agree to host your exchange partner in your home for 3-4 weeks.

  • Your school will give you a good character reference

I am younger than 15, what about me?..

No problem ........
Complete the form below and this will allow Rotary a year or more to make sure you get your first choice of countries.

Where can I go?..

The world is your oyster .... well, almost, there are Rotary Clubs in about 170 countries and most of them take part in the Short Term Exchange Programme. Not all countries participate every year but the organisers will do their best to arrange an exchange with your chosen country.

What does it cost?..

You would be responsible for the cost of your travel to the host country. You must also take out an insurance policy which is acceptable to the hosting Rotary Club.

There is also the cost of having your exchange partner as a guest in your home for 3-4 weeks and the additional cost of any excursions which you might take them on or events which you might take them to.

Also, you must obtain a passport, a visa (if required) and provide your own spending money for the duration of the exchange.

What's the next step?..

You can either CLICK HERE to see a list of young people from other countries who are currently seeking exchanges to the UK or Ireland or you can choose which country you would like to exchange with. Then complete the form below and someone will contact you to discuss a possible exchange.

Please note that you should only complete this form if you are a resident of the UK or Ireland.
If you live outside the UK or Ireland then you must contact Rotary in your own country. If you do not know how to do this please click here to send an e-mail to the Youth Exchange department at the Rotary head office in Chicago and give them your name, city and country of residence. They will be able to send you the name and e-mail address of the Rotary Youth Exchange contact in your country of residence.
