For the first time in 4 years, the Central States Rotary Youth Exchange Conference and Jamboree was held at Calvin University in Grand Rapids. Students and Rotary Exchange volunteers from 20 different districts gathered for one last training weekend filled with fun, inspiration and teaching.
Rotary Youth Exchange exists to build peace, one young person at a time. Students learn a new language, culture, and become ambassadors. They gain confidence and lifelong friendships as they spend a year abroad living with multiple host families. Each student is sponsored and hosted by a local Rotary Club.
This is a life changing opportunity offered to a select few young people, with around 9,000 students studying abroad each year. Is your club involved yet? We’d love to talk with you more about this amazing opportunity.
