Rotary Youth Exchange

Each year, Rotary runs the world’s largest and most successful exchange program across over 65 countries. Our mission: Building world peace one student at a time.

Over the years, COL has sponsored over 80 inbound and outbound students under Rotary's 'long-term' (yearlong) youth exchange experience for high school-age students.  Some students are opting for the short-term summer exchange.

By connecting students across borders, it breaks down barriers, promotes peace, and cultivates a generation that values diversity and collaboration. The ripple effects strengthen communities and contribute to a more inclusive and interconnected world.
