Youth Exchange Organisation
Exchanges
are undertaken between a D9920 New Zealand Rotary Club and
a hosting (Overseas Rotary Club). The Student is placed in
the care of the hosting Rotary club that will appoint a Counsellor
for each student and will also organise the host families
(Host families may not always be Rotarians).
In
addition to the Club support structure each country will also
have a Youth Exchange Committee that oversees the operation
of the exchange programme in their Rotary area or district
Each
Rotary Area or District is certified by Rotary International
to ensure consistency of standards and processes in conducting
the Rotary Exchange Programme. The programme ensures a series
of support structures for each student.
