On behalf of the approximately 1000 Rotarians in Rotary District 7150, thank you for visiting the Rotary District 7150 Youth Exchange website. We hope you will find it interesting and informative!
We would particularly like to extend a warm welcome to those visitors interested in becoming an exchange student! We typically offer the opportunity for high school students to study abroad. This experience includes learning a different language and assimilating into a new culture. It is often termed a unique, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Life-long friendships are made, a new appreciation and understanding of people of different countries evolves.
To those of you visiting our website from another country, welcome! You will find our District, in the heart of Upstate New York, USA, to be full of friendly people, fun activities, unique landscapes and challenging weather patterns!
After dealing with the challenge of a Worldwide Pandemic with COVID, we will begin exchanges again during the calendar year 2023-2024. We look forward once again to working with you to ensure that our exchanges are a positive and enriching experiences in the future.
A special thank you to our Host Families for your generosity in giving a home to students from around the globe and welcoming them into your family. We hope you will continue this tradition in 2023-2024.
We aim to make a valuable, positive contribution to goodwill, peace and understanding among nations and people. Enjoy browsing our website, and please let us know how we can help you make this possible.
