NEW FRIENDS AWAIT IN EVERY CORNER OF THE WORLD.
 
ON A ROTARY FRIENDSHIP EXCHANGE, YOU’RE NEVER JUST A TOURIST.
 
  • You get to genuinely experience another culture guided by friends in Rotary. Exchange participants take turns hosting and visiting one another, forging friendships that last a lifetime.
  • Exchange participation is open to individual Rotary members, couples, families, or groups. Prospective partners communicate with one another in advance to decide on the format, timing, and duration of each visit.
     
  • All exchanges are funded by the participants, and hosts are not expected to assume a significant financial burden. Visitors pay their own way, but are rewarded with warm hospitality and an international travel experience unlike any other.
     
  • An exchange can also be the starting point for a long-term international relationship between two clubs. Participants often use their new friendships as the basis for partnering on service projects that create lasting change.
     
  • Interested in finding potential exchange partners? Contact a district Rotary Friendship Exchange chair, or take advantage of opportunities to connect with Rotarians from other parts of the world at the annual Rotary International Convention and other events.
