Youth Programs

Since 1927, students and host families all over the world have had their horizons broadened and their lives enriched by the generosity of Rotary's Youth Exchange program. Administered by Rotary clubs, districts and multidistrict groups, the program today involves more than 82 countries and over 8,000 students each year.  The primary goal of the program is to foster world understanding by way of intercultural exchange.

These exchanges usually last an academic year in the host country, during which the student lives with more than one host family (usually three families for three months at a time) and attends school.

Our club jointly participates with the other (4) Saskatoon Rotary and Rotaract clubs in long term student exchanges. Currently there are 2 inbound students; Jukka Kajan from Finland and Gabriela Delgado Rizzotti from Brasil and Ian McArthur who is our outbound student living in Mexico. For more information on the youth exchange program click one of the following links (Rotary international, RI District 5550).

We also sponsor high schools students to take part in Rotary sponsored leadership award camps (RYLA) and various "Adventures" activities. This year we will be sponsoring a student to attend Adventures in Technology in Saskatoon and another student to travel to Ottawa for Adventures in Citizenship. These are only two of several Rotary-driven enrichment camps sponsored by clubs across the country. The seminars provide a preview for students as they make career choices.
