Outbound Students

2027-2028

Rotary Youth Exchange District 6970 is excited to congratulate the Outbound Students who have been selected to go on Exchange during the 2026-27 school year!

Outbound Orientation will be held February 6-7, 2027, and will begin with the Country Reveal, introducing our future Outbound students to their destinations.

Three additional single-day trainings will be held in March, April, and May as part of our holistic preparation for the RYE experience.

The training will conclude on with the RYE Graduation Ceremony on Sunday, May 30.

Outbound students will learn about Rotary International, the Rotary Youth Exchange program, practice their language skills, work with Rotarians and ROTEX and Rebounds in a variety of activities, and make friends with others who will be sharing their experiences as exchange students. 

Additional online sessions may be scheduled during the spring to provide critical information about visa acquisition, the travel agent, and health insurance.

Reply Promptly to Mail, E-mails, and Messages – Remember, we are counting on you (not your parents) to manage your exchange. If you get an e-mail from the Youth Exchange Chair, your Country Coordinator, or a Rotary counselor, here or overseas, reply to it right away. When you are sent paperwork and instructions from It’s Your World Travel or from CISI Insurance, be sure to do what you are asked to do, completely and promptly. Take charge, be efficient, and make it happen, and the result will be a wonderful, unforgettable, life-changing year.
