Applications and Outbound Exchange Forms All Applications for Rotary Youth Exchange Must Be Typed
Information & Forms
Preliminary Exchange Application Fill out this form when you first are interesting in Youth Exchange and email it to Walter Lundstrom
Long Term Exchange Application (Full Form) Fill out this form if you want to become a long term Rotary Exchange student. These students stay in their host countries between 9 and 12 months.
Yes! We’re interested in hosting a Rotary exchange student. Please have your prospective host families fill out this form
Every prospective Long Term outbound student must include the forms with three prospective host families with their application. This, of course, can be their own family hosting three times (3.5 months each time). We instituted this rule because our district has to host as many Long Term students as we send. The more host families, the more inbounds we can host.
Information, Cost & Restrictions By Country This is approximate cost and some requirements which many countries have for incoming exchange students.
This is a form in which you can explain in which countries you might desire to be an exchange student. This is never binding and you may finally be placed in countries other than the ones you listed.
It's Your World, Travel, Registration Form You must fill this out for the designated travel agency. Be very careful to follow all the instructions carefully.

Requirements for Outbound Exchange Students What Do You Need to Do To Become An Exchange Student As an exchange student, you’re job is to be a goodwill ambassador representing Rotary, District 6690, and the US. People here in the US will judge our program on your behavior, and the people you touch overseas will literally get their strongest perception about the US from you (good or bad…). Part of being an effective goodwill ambassador is to be prepared, and because of that, the following learning requirements are mandatory parts of the program. RESEARCH PAPERS & REQUIRED GROUNDWORK *Four research papers and each paper should be 750-1000 words. The purpose of the papers is for you to be prepared for your exchange. Short terms: email to the papers to Kathy Gatterdam kgatterdam@columbuscoal.com. Long terms: email the papers to Walter Lundstrom WalterLundstrom@gmail.com
1. What is Rotary? (Due 1 week before the January RYE weekend) 2. USA, Ohio, and your home town. (Due 1 week before the March weekend) 3. Your host country and city. (Due 1 week before the May RYE weekend) 4. The difference in culture between your home country and host country. This paper takes a lot of research, because you’re looking for the deep cultural differences, not music and food. (Only for long term students. Due 1 week before the July RYE weekend. Email it to Walter Lundstrom). Papers, if acceptable, may be published on the District Web Site.
Paper 1-3 are for all out-bounds. Paper 4 is only for long term out-bounds.
In addition to the above papers, after you get your country match up, you’ll also need to translate the letter that was in your application to your new host language. Please email it to Kathy (ST) or Walter (LT). Failing to deliver any of these research papers or the translated letter on time, will jeopardize your exchange and may result in you not being part of the program! LANGUAGE LEARNING When you get your country match, you must also start to learn your host language. There are numerous programs available. Rosetta Stone might be one of the best ones, but that is up to each student to find what works best for you and your budget. PRESENTATION TO ROTARY CLUB After you have been accepted in to the program (after the district interviews) you’ll need to get in touch with your sponsoring Rotary club to setup a time in April / May for you to do a 20 minutes Power Point presentation. I’ll give you more information about that later. Most clubs fill up their programs quickly, so get in touch with them right away after you are accepted. ONE IN 7,000 US HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS DO THIS. BE THAT ONE You have started a life changing experience that VERY few people go through. I don’t know the statistics for short term exchanges, but according to a National Geographic study last year, only one US high school student in 7,000 becomes an exchange student! You’re very special! Information and Forms Short Term Exchange Application Short Term exchanges are between 1 and two months and are family to family exchanges.
