Rotary Youth Exchange is one of the most popular programs to promote international understanding and develop lifelong friendships. The Rotary Club of O'Fallon has been very active with the Youth Exchange program by sponsoring local outbound students and hosting foreign inbound students. The values of Youth Exchange are experienced not only by the high-school-age students involved but also by the host families, sponsor clubs, receiving high schools, and the entire community. Youth Exchange participants usually provide their fellow students in their host schools with excellent opportunities to learn about customs, languages, traditions, and family life in another country. Students spend a full academic year abroad through the long-term program. For more information on the program, contact Mike Wieland, 618 624-4180, or Ed True, 618 604-7716.
