One of the most rewarding aspects of the Rotary Youth Exchange (RYE) programme is that it is open to NZ students (and family of Rotarian's) to apply and have a 12 month exchange in another country, with great supporting host families. Club Members may well be aware of potential applicants. Be the person that changes their life...and let them know about the RYE programme. The RYE programme is regarded as one of the best student exchange programmes available. It is extremely well regarded due to the pre-departure training and briefings that are provided to students and for the student support network that is based around the Rotary organisation. The exchange will broaden their view of the world and develops global understanding and awareness while at the same time developing the student themselves to increase their independence and confidence. The RYE programme therefore plays an important role in developing future potential leaders! Please give some thought to finding that student who is waiting for this opportunity. |
