Youth Exchange
International Student Exchange Program
 Outbound - An opportunity for students completing secondary schooling to travel to other parts of the world to study for up to one year in an entirely different environment. The impact on future international relations is incalculable, however, the impact on the lives of those students fortunate to participate is most evident. Those young people are the potential leaders in their future community, playing a vital role in the shaping of tomorrow's world.

Interact
Interact is an international organisation of service and social clubs for young people of secondary school age that fosters leadership and responsible citizenship and promotes international understanding and peace. Combining the words “international” and “action” created the name. Interact clubs are sponsored by Rotary clubs. Rotary clubs provide guidance and inspiration, but the Interact clubs are self-governing and self-supporting.

The GSE program offers the opportunity for a team of six non-Rotarian business or professional men and women and a Rotarian Team Leader to visit another country to study social, economic, business and cultural conditions, and to observe their own professions in action, while staying in the homes of Rotarians.
The GSE program depends for its success on the willingness of all clubs in the receiving District to host, entertain and provide a program for the few days that the team will be in their area.
