2020-2021 Suspension of Exchanges Due to COVID-19
Sadly because of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have decided to suspend the District 5450 Rotary Youth Exchange program for the 2020-21 academic year. There will be no inbound or outbound academic year exchanges during that school year. Those outbound students that were accepted and placed in a host country for that year have been informed of this decision and have been advised of the option(s) available in the future.
It is our intention to restart the program for the 2021-22 academic year and the short-term program in summer 2021, barring unforeseen circumstances related to the pandemic. See the Calendar for dates related to next year’s exchange deadlines. (Dates will be released by the end of the summer, applications and interviews are held in the fall for the next school year).
About Rocky Mountain Rotary Youth Exchange
