About Rocky Mountain Rotary Youth Exchange

Rocky Mountain Rotary Youth Exchange is made up of volunteers from Rotary District 5450. Our Rotary District is geographically centered by the Denver-metro area and extends along the I-25 corridor from Mead to Castle Rock and extends from Summit County and Grand County in the west to Fort Morgan and Brush in the east. The map to the right shows the counties in Colorado that make up each of the Rotary Districts.

The first step to applying to be a Rotary Exchange Student is to request an application and to contact your local Rotary Club for an interview. Then students recommended by their local club will be interviewed by the 5450 District Committee. Students selected to participate in the program will then be placed with one of our partner Rotary Youth Exchange Committees.

“My daughter took charge of her life through this process, and walked on to the airplane with her head held high. A year later we decided to host a student in our home. My daughter really wanted to show the kindness that others had shown her. Our whole family benefitted from getting to know another brave, world traveler!”

“No matter how you get involved, Rotary Youth Exchange is an opportunity to open your arms to the world. We turn people into Global Citizens, and I’m not just talking about the students.”

“My experiences in Lima are so profound and incredible I don’t even know what to think of them sometimes. Everything about my year was perfect, even the terrible and uncomfortable times. Now I am an extremely adaptable person and I am super open to everything. I am still talking to my friends a couple times a week and my families a couple times a month. They will all stay with me for the rest of my life, which is so cool! When people ask me about Peru, I tell them that it was like having a whole life in a year.”
