Rotary Youth Exchange
Youth Exchange
( 2014-15 Lakeville Rotary Outbound Exchange Students Joshua Marzahn (Osaka, Japan and Samuel Rosario (India) )
Rotary Youth Exchange provides more than 8,000 teenagers each year an adventure of a lifetime: a chance to live, learn and become a true part of a new family, culture and way of life as a high school foreign exchange student.
North Star Rotary Youth Exchange, which encompasses south-central Minnesota and northwest Wisconsin (Rotary Districts 5950 and 5960), provides this opportunity to eager, ambitious high school students — both to come to our area to experience American life, or to go abroad to one of about 33 countries around the world
