Once again this year the Rotary Club of Carson City arranged for an international student to spend 10 months in Carson City. This year the student is from Brazil.
For more than 50 years, Rotary Youth Exchange has been one of Rotary’s best-known programs. As an official program, it dates to 1975, but by that time, Rotary clubs had already been sending students abroad for decades with the aim of promoting international understanding and friendship.
What the program offers to, and asks of, participants is an openness to new ideas and experiences, a willingness to adapt and to gain new perspectives. This is a wonderful opportunity to make new friends and learn new ways of living. It is a life changing experience for these lucky adolescents.
If you would like to host an inbound student for three months, or if you know of a high school student who wants to spend 10 months in another country, contact us at carsoncitynvrotary@gmail.com .
