Rotary Youth Exchange Update

The district and host clubs had a very good year with 2024-25 Inbound students that represented Belgium, Ecuador, India, Peru, Taiwan, Turkiye, and Uganda.

Now our Host Clubs for 2025-26 are preparing for eight Inbound students who will begin arriving in August. Thank you to Alliance, Jackson Township, Louisville, Millersburg, North Canton, and Wooster clubs for hosting in the coming school year.

Clubs and Rotarians that are not hosting can still participate in Rotary Youth Exchange. Want to know how? Contact district chair Brent Rice at (330) 749-7120 or d6650rotaryyouthexchange@gmail.com to discuss.

 

District 6650 will sponsor four Outbound students in 2025-26 - an increase from the one Outbound student who participated this past year. The future Outbounds will complete their final orientation and celebrate their coming departure at the O-ERYE Multi-district Otterbein Conference in Westerville, Ohio on July 11-13. Wish for each of them an extraordinary experience!

 

Youth in your club's orbit need to learn about Rotary Youth Exchange. RYE is open to students between the ages of 15-19 at the time of their departure.

The 2026-27 Outbound Application is now open and can be found at www.oerye.org/outbounds.

Applications are due in November 2025 to prepare for the 2026-27 school year.

Share with your fellow club members; your family, friends, colleagues, and neighbors.

Have your club youth services committee share the news with your local school. And contact your district Youth Exchange Committee to answer any questions or find a way to get more involved!
