Informational Meeting: Wednesday, October 24, 6pm
Coronado Middle School, Granzer Hall, 550 F Avenue
Would your teen like to travel or live abroad? Some 7,000 students annually participate in the Rotary International Youth Exchange Program, truly an affordable opportunity! As a Rotary Youth Exchange student, your child will spend anywhere from a few weeks in the summer to a full academic year living with a host family overseas. They will experience life in another country, they may learn a new language, and they will grow as individuals while returning to our community with a broader view of the world and a deeper understanding of cultures as well as themselves.
Interested students and parents are invited to learn more about the 2019 exchange opportunities:
- Long-term exchanges – last for an academic year, during which the student lives with more than one host family and attends school in the host country.
- Short-term exchanges – live with a host family overseas who has a teen your age and then he/she will come to your home and stay with your family for a few weeks (or reverse order).
- International Summer Youth Camps – two to four weeks in length, bringing together students from many countries in an overseas location, and you will be the only American!
Student Selection: Rotary Club of Coronado is required to screen interested applicants (age 15-18; summer camps allow students up to the age of 25 and you may be up to 18 1⁄2 to start the long-term exchange if you choose to do so after US high school graduation) through completion of a detailed application and interviews based on the following criteria: scholastic record and age, linguistic ability (not necessary for summer camps), involvement with incoming exchange students and community involvement as a potential cultural ambassador.
