Rotary clubs are made up of volunteers who are involved in community service, emphasize high ethical standards, working toward peace and understanding in the world. Over 1.2 million Rotarians in more than 32,000 clubs create the extensive network that provides support for Youth Exchange.

A commitment to youth

Rotary maintains a strong connection to youth and young adults. Besides Youth Exchange, Rotary clubs sponsor youth service clubs such as Interact, Rotaract, and RYLA and offers career development, scholarships, and mentoring programs.

Rotary is committed to creating and maintaining the safest possible environment for all participants in its programs, including Youth Exchange.  District 7680 complies with youth protection requirements of Rotary International, the US Department of State, and the Council on International Education and Travel through its partnership in the Ohio-Erie Rotary Multidistrict.

Low costs

Rotary club volunteers administer the program at the local level, which helps keep costs low for students and their families. These volunteers and the district's RYE support team offer years of experience with students, host families, and fellow Rotarians who are involved in the program.
