What is the Rotary Youth Exchange Program?

 The Rotary Club of Antioch Youth Exchange program provides High School District 117 students with an opportunity to live and study in other countries.

Recruitment for the 2019-2020 year is underway.

Two main programs are offered:

The LONG TERM program that places a student in a foreign country for eleven months.

The SHORT TERM program typically takes place in the summer months. Students in this program are paired with a student of another country. They then schedule a 3-6 week stay at one of their residence followed by the two traveling to the others residence for another 3-6 week stay. 

The Rotary Club of Antioch presented the Youth Exchange program during language classes at both High Schools. Students interested in either program attended a follow-up meeting with their parents to learn more about the program on September 6th.s. If you were unable to attend, you can still apply by September 12th using the preliminary application on the site.
