GROUP STUDY EXCHANGE
Bill Jacobs & Cap Powers
We have been GSE hosts since 1995 including Thailand, Argentina, India,
Brazil, Australia, the Seychelles and, this year, Germany.
YOUTH EXCHANGE
Every year approximately 7,000 students ages 15 to 19 go abroad under
the auspices of the Rotary Youth Exchange program, either for the academic
year or an extended period of time. The increased self awareness and
global perspective that they derive from the experience would not be
possible without the commitment of the many volunteer host families
and the dedication of those Rotarians who serve as Youth Exchange officers.
In fact, this commitment and enthusiasm is transferred to many exchange
students who continue their involvement after their exchange as members
of ROTEX
