Rotary Youth ExchangeThe most powerful force in the promotion of
international understanding and peace is exposure to different cultures. The world
becomes a smaller, friendlier place when we learn that all people — regardless of nationality
— desire the same basic things: a safe, comfortable environment that allows for a rich
and satisfying life for our children and ourselves. Youth Exchange provides thousands of young people with the opportunity to meet
people from other lands and to experience their cultures. This plants the seeds for a lifetime of
international understanding.
