Rotary Youth Exchange is about Clubs service to the community | |
|
Our District's Rotary Youth Exchange program
is managed by a multi district organization called Ohio-Erie. It is a great
way for us to share resources and create opportunities for students and
families who live and go to school near our Clubs. Since we computerized our
data in 2005. Sixteen of our Clubs have hosted 42 students from 11 countries. Nine
Clubs have sent 28 students to 11 countries. At least eight Clubs have
helped in other ways by hosting events. |
