ROTARY YOUTH EXCHANGE is an organization providing study abroad exchange programs that provide thousands of young individuals with the opportunity to meet new people from other countries and to experience their cultures. This plants within them the seeds of a lifetime of international understanding, tolerance, goodwill, and ultimately world peace. Typically, each year, over 8,000 high school students participate in their programs worldwide through the efforts of Rotary volunteers around the globe. The participation of the volunteers helps in keeping the program expenses very low.Answering a query, the company spokesperson said, "To ensure student safety during the exchange, we usually assign a Rotarian counselor to all students who maintain regular contact with them and serve as a liaison between them and our Rotary Clubs, host families, guardians, and the community. The counselor is usually trained in responding to problems that may arise during the exchange. Also, we provide abuse and harassment prevention training to all participants and ensure that all participants in the exchange programs undergo background checks and screening procedures following the laws or legal requirements of the host country."
Want to enroll in high school study abroad programs? ROTARY YOUTH EXCHANGE is home to the best high school abroad programs that are tailor-made for high school students. They offer two types of high school abroad programs, which are short-term and long-term high school abroad programs. In the latter, one gets to study abroad for a full academic year or during a gap year immediately following high school graduation before beginning college or university studies. For the short term, students will get to study abroad from a few weeks to a couple of months. Regardless of which a student decides to participate in, they are guaranteed of getting to learn a new language, become a global citizen, and discover another culture.
The company spokesperson added, "Moreover, we provide each student with access to a female and a male non-Rotarian who are alternative resources in the event of a problem. So, we always strive to create and maintain a safe environment for all exchange students through a supportive structure. For more insight about how we ensure the safety of all students during the exchange, clients can contact us."
For those wishing to participate in short-term or long-term study abroad summer programs for high school students with Rotary Youth Exchange, they are assured that the program will be one of their most incredible lifetime experiences. This exchange involves two families agreeing to send their daughter or son to be hosted in a foreign country by another family with a similar-aged daughter or son. It starts with one student traveling to the other country and spending three to four weeks with the host family, and then the second student travels together to the first student's home to be hosted for the next three to four weeks. The program is only open to students aged 15 to 19 and ranges from a few weeks to several months. The good news is that the program does not include an academic program.
