Rotary Youth Exchange Program (YEP) District 9830

The Youth Exchange Program is an International exchange for young people between the ages of 15 – 18. The exchange is for a 12 month period during which time the student is hosted by 3 – 4 families therefore experiencing different lifestyles.

It is a reciprocal educational exchange, therefore st yep udents must attend school.

Spending time abroad as a Rotary Exchange Student is a great opportunity for students to experience a new culture, a new language, to be an ambassador for Rotary & Tasmania and to build lifelong friendships.

Inbound students arrive in July/August & outbound students depart in January. Pictured are a group enjoying their Tassie Tour at Strahan.

The Youth Exchange Program committee conduct 3 orientation days & camps to assist inbound students to become acclimatized & to prepare outbound students for their 12 months abroad.
