Rotary Youth Exchange provides an opportunity for young residents to spend a few weeks or an entire academic year living with a foreign family. During this time the students, learn a new way of living, a new language and a lot about themselves.

The RYE committee works to raise awareness of the program with area high schools and facilitates the processing of any local applicants. Committee members interact with high school counselors, foreign language instructors and others knowledgeable of students potentially seeking a foreign learning experience. The committee also interacts with applicants and their families in a light screening and interview process.
