"Rotary Youth Exchanges are for students ages 15-19. Students will learn a new language, discover another culture, and truly become global citizens. Long-term exchanges last a full academic year, and students attend local schools and live with multiple host families.
Short-term exchanges last from several days to three months and are often structured as camps, tours, or homestays that take place when school is not in session."
