Rotary Youth ExchangeThe most powerful force in the promotion of

international understanding and peace is exposure to different cultures. The world

becomes a smaller, friendlier place when we learn that all people — regardless of nationality

— desire the same basic things: a safe, comfortable environment that allows for a rich

and satisfying life for our children and ourselves. Youth Exchange provides thousands of young people with the opportunity to meet

people from other lands and to experience their cultures. This plants the seeds for a lifetime of

international understanding.
