Houston Rotary Youth Exchange is part of the 5890 Rotary district, which encompasses the greater-Houston area.
Throughout this area, local Rotary clubs provide this international opportunity to eager, ambitious, and inquisitive high school students — both to come to our area to experience American life, or to go abroad to one of 15 countries around the world.
The program offers numerous benefits to its young participants and their Rotarian hosts and mentors, as well as to the community at large.
Exposure to different cultures is one of the most powerful ways to promote international understanding and peace.
Thousands of young students are provided with the opportunity to meet people from other countries and to experience new cultures, planting the seeds for a lifetime of international understanding
