少量的金錢花費
LOW COSTS
扶輪社友皆為自願在地方管理該計畫沒有任何收費，這有助於學生及家長能夠花費最少的金錢，這些自願者通常會提供參加青年交換計畫的學生、接待家庭與扶輪社友經驗的分享。
Rotary club volunteers administer the program at the local level, which helps keep costs low for students and their families. These volunteers often offer years of experience with students, host families, and fellow Rotarians who are involved in the program.
MAKING A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE
身為扶輪社的交換學生，您將會擁有一年的時間在國外與至少一個寄宿家庭一同生活，以及參加當地的學校課程。
As a Rotary Youth Exchange student, you’ll spend up to a year living with a few host families and attending school in a different country.
不論您參與的是扶輪社的長期交換計畫還是短期交換計畫，您將會學習到不同的生活方式，並且更加地了解自己，除此之外說不定您還可以學習到新的語言。您將會成為一位外交官，讓外國人更深入了解您國家，告訴他們您國家的特色、語言、文化等等。透過交換計畫讓世界變得更緊靠近，同時您也可以交到不同國家的朋友。
Whether you participate in Rotary’s long-term or short-term Youth Exchange programs, you’ll learn a new way of living, a great deal about yourself, and maybe even a new language. You’ll also be an ambassador, teaching people you meet about your country, culture, and ideas. You can help bring the world closer – and make some good friends in the process.
