ROTARY YOUTH EXCHANGE – Global student learning and growing

Parents, give your students a global education.  Let them experience a foreign culture, learn a second language, and discover what they are capable of.  Six students have gone out from North Andover, and seven have come in, under the program.  Students need to prepare for global living and working.  The time to learn is in high school.  The time to prepare is in middle school.

The long term program is a full academic year.  Most students go on exchange during junior year.  Parents and students should therefore determine what courses the student must take to graduate, and how they will fit those courses into three years at NAHS.  Additional credit may be available for study abroad.  There is also a short term program during the summer.

Rotary is international.  Rotary here prepares students before they leave on exchange.  Students experience life in a foreign country by living it, staying with local families and attending the local high school.  They travel and see sights they otherwise would not see, and they make lifelong friends along the way.  All this is under the supervision of Rotary in the host country.  At the same time, students learn self-reliance, independence and responsibility.  Maturity can soar.

Learn more at www.exchangestudent.org and by contacting Rotarian Bob Ford at rpf@fordlaw.net.  Also, experience the program by getting involved.  Host an exchange student for three months, and observe the program in action.  Offer your students the world.
