Rotary Youth Exchange

Rotary Youth Exchange (RYE) is a Rotary International student exchange program for secondary school students. Since 1929, Rotary International has sent young people around the globe to experience new cultures. Currently, about 9,000 students are sponsored by Rotary Clubs every year. Typically, students are sent to another country for a year-long stay, generally living with multiple host families during the year, and are expected to perform daily tasks within the household as well as attend school in the host country. Short-term exchange programs are also quite common. These typically involve direct student exchanges between two families, arranged through Rotary to coincide with major school holiday periods.
