Rotary Club Involvement
Rotary Clubs are involved in the Rotary Youth Exchange Programme in three
ways:
As Hosts
As Sponsors
As Nominators
The Rotary Club as the host club accepts the Inbound student before
the student even leaves home. The Club is charged with finding a
Counsellor and host parents (normally 3-4) that will host the student for 3-4
months each.
There is a financial commitment on the club of between $2,000 and $3,000 which
is broken down as follows: $650 to the RYE Committee for administration,
orientations, etc, $100 (estimate) per month 'pocket money' to the student, and
the cost of providing a meal for the student at each club meeting they attend.
The Rotary Club as a Sponsor Club accepts an outbound student.
The cost is $950 which is used for District administration, jacket, orientations
etc. The club appoints a counsellor who keeps in touch with the student
while they are overseas. Having the student to meetings before and after
the exchange helps make the association with Rotary a long and fulfilling one.
The Rotary Club as Nominator is more a member role than a club role.
Anyone can nominate a student whom fits the criteria as a RYE student.
Remember that the applications close in April of each year. Download a
Preliminary Application
form and get the student to submit it to the committee.
Please download the flyer that discusses the
opportunities that
exist for the club. There is also a 5mb PowerPoint presentation that
discusses Youth
Exchange at Club level.
