Rotary Youth Exchange District 6970 is excited to congratulate the Outbound Students who have been selected to go on Exchange during the 2026-27 school year!

Outbound Orientation will be held February 7-8 in Cocoa Beach.

Additional single-day trainings will be held on March 28, April 18, and May 9 as part of our holistic preparation the RYE experience.

The training will conclude on with the RYE Graduation Ceremony on Saturday, June 13. Outbound students will learn about Rotary International, the Rotary Youth Exchange program, practice their language skills, work with Rotarians and ROTEX and Rebounds in a variety of activities, and make friends with others who will be sharing their experiences as exchange students. 

Additional sessions will be held for during the spring to provide critical information about visa acquisition, the travel agent, and health insurance.

Reply Promptly to Mail, E-mails, and Messages – Remember, we are counting on you (not your parents) to manage your exchange. If you get an e-mail from the Youth Exchange Chair, your Country Coordinator, or a Rotary counselor, here or overseas, reply to it right away. When you are sent paperwork and instructions from Tzell Youth Exchange Travel or from CISI Insurance, be sure to do what you are asked to do, completely and promptly. Take charge, be efficient, and make it happen, and the result will be a wonderful, unforgettable, life-changing year.
