What is NGE?

New Generations Exchanges usually last from three to six weeks, making this an ideal option for recent secondary school graduates and Rotaractors.

These exchanges may be arranged for individuals or groups and can involve homestays, tours, or camps. Many districts also offer specialized internships to students, based on placement location and availability.

As with all Rotary Youth Exchanges, New Generations Exchanges provide students with the opportunity to learn about a different culture while fostering goodwill and understanding. Wherever you go, you’ll discover that the world is smaller than you once thought, and that you can gain a great deal from the unique experience of being a Rotary Youth Exchange participant.

What will it cost?

Costs vary, so contact your District Youth Chair for specific information. Typically, students and their parents or guardians are expected to cover the following expenses:

• Round-trip airfare;
• Health and accident insurance that meets the requirements of the host and sponsor clubs and districts;
• All travel documents, such as passports and visas;
• Spending money, ancillary travel, and tours.
  
  

What are my responsibilities?

As a Youth Exchange student, you agree to:

• Act as an ambassador for your own country;
• Be open to new experiences and cultural differences;
• Abide by all program rules of your host Rotary club and district.
