Rotary Youth Exchange Info Session

THE ADVENTURE STARTS HERE!

Exposure to different cultures is the most powerful force in promoting international understanding and peace. The world becomes a smaller, friendlier place when we learn that all people, regardless of nationality, desire the same basic things: a safe, comfortable environment that allows for a rich and satisfying life for themselves and their children.

The Rotary Youth Exchange program allows up to 8000 young people from Rotary Districts around the world, to meet people from other lands and experience their cultures, thus planting the seeds of international understanding for a lifetime.

Communities worldwide have much to gain from the continued success of the Youth Exchange program. Students learn firsthand about the challenges and accomplishments of people in other countries. Young people mature as individuals as their concept of the world grows.

Host clubs, families, and communities enjoy extended, friendly contact with someone from a different culture. Exchange students return home with a broader view of the world and a deeper understanding of themselves. Young adults assume leadership roles shaped in part by what they learned during their exchange experiences.

We would like you to encourage young people between the ages of 15 and 17 years old who you think might be interested to contact us and / or attend our information evening on Monday, October 28th from 7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. This evening will be held at the North Bay Public Library for both parents and students.
