Our Outbound Students

2016/17 Outbound Arrives in Brazil for his Exchange Year

Traverse City area students actively participate in the Rotary International Youth Exchange program. Often they learn of the program through a school counselor, or through in-school visits by members of our three Traverse City Rotary clubs.

Students apply, are interviewed and selected to the program. This process launches an exciting series of activities including weekend retreats where they have a chance to meet with inbound students from throughout the District. Eventually they learn which country, Rotary Club and, eventually, host-family will be their home during the upcoming year.

Once they have been accepted into the program, students and their parents are encouraged to join us at our weekly programs. Once they have started their exchange, we receive e-mails updating us on their adventures. Upon their return, students are invited to deliver a presentation at the club where we can benefit from their experience.
