Our Rotary Club is delighted to welcome Wilson, our new exchange student from Brazil! We threw a party for him and our host families at the Olson’s home.
Youth exchange is more than just a cultural experience; it’s a transformative opportunity for everyone involved. For the student, it’s a chance to explore new cultures, learn a new language, and build lifelong friendships. Our host families and volunteers gain a fresh perspective, enriching their own lives by sharing their world with a young person eager to learn.
By fostering these international connections, we are building bridges of understanding and goodwill, which are crucial in today’s global society.
High school students may apply to venture abroad to more than 30 countries for our short term and yearlong programs.
