November 10, 2008 Youth Exchange

Chris McNeely, from Jacksonville, presented a dynamic power presentation, that gave our members an in depth look at Rotary's Youth Exchange program.

Rotary Youth Exchange is open to young people ages 15-25 worldwide. There are two basic types of exchanges: short-term and long-term.

General Short-term Exchange

New Generations Exchange
Ages 18-25
Three to six weeks; ideal for recent secondary school graduates; can include homestays, tours, camps, or specialized internships.

Long-term Exchange
Ages 15-19
Last one year; involves living with a few host families and attending a local school.
