Here are some tips to help you get started:
Start planning early
The Rotary Youth Exchange program is highly selective, so start planning as soon as possible. For long-term exchanges (LTEP), apply in May- mid-November for exchanges beginning the following August. All District 5360 exchanges begin during the summer; For example, if you wish to travel when you’re in 11th grade, you should apply in May - November of your 9th - 10th-grade year. The reason for the early deadlines? Our sponsor Rotary clubs and district has an extensive selection and orientation process, which helps us identify the best candidates and prepare you well for your time as Youth Exchange students.
