Thank You .windows.net



Thank YouThank you for your interest in Rotary Youth Exchange. Its goal is to promote the advancement of international understanding, goodwill and peace at the person to person level. Our focus is both on high school students, aged 16-18, who are interested in living and studying abroad for one year, and on host families who wish to enhance their own sense of peace and who want the adventure without leaving home. The Rotary Clubs of Sault Ste Marie have participated in Youth Exchange since 1970. Since then, we have hosted approximately 130 students and we have sponsored even more to spend a year abroad. Our clubs provide unparalleled support and commitment.General ResourcesWebsitesCentral States Rotary International SessionTuesday May 5, 2015, at 7-9:15pm in the Korah Collegiate AuditoriumMeet Inbound and Outbound Students and their respective parentsHosting InboundsWebsitesCentral States Rotary VideosBecome a Host Family Kimmer Time LineAnytimeLocal clubs identify and vet potential host familyHost application performed online at access from the home page at August – ChristmasStudent with 1st host family New Years – AprilStudent with 2nd host family April – JulyStudent with 3rd host familyHosting works with families of any type.
