Friendship Exchange is Rotary's international exchange program for Rotarians and their families. Friendship Exchange provides participants the opportunity to experience other cultures by staying in the homes of Rotarians in other countries. The program aims to advance international understanding and peace through personal contact across borders while developing interclub relationships for fellowship and service projects.

 

There are two types of Friendship Exchanges:

Visitor Program Individual Rotarians, who may be accompanied by family members, spend a few days in the home of a Rotarian in another country.

Team Program Rotarian couples, typically four to six, visit several communities in a host district for up to one month.

District 9830 has these Team Programs and you are encouraged to participate.

Rotary International is looking for good photos and stories about successful Rotary Friendship Exchanges to feature on the Web site and in RI publications.
