About the Programme
What is Rotary Youth Exchange?
Rotary Youth Exchange is one of the world's largest and most respected youth exchange programmes. Students aged 15–19 spend a semester or full year living with host families abroad, attending local schools and immersing themselves in a new culture.
District 3250 covers Bihar & Jharkhand and is your local gateway to this life-changing experience.
"My exchange year was the most transformative experience of my life. I arrived not speaking a word of the language and left with a second family, fluency in a new language, and a completely different view of the world."
