The Cancún Rotary Club actively participates in Rotary’s long-term youth exchange program. Students learn a new language, discover another culture, and truly become global citizens. Exchanges for students 15 to 19 years old are sponsored by Rotary clubs in more than 100 countries. As you can see in the gallery below, this year our club is hosting students from seven different countries.
“Inbounds” are exchange students who come to Mexico from other parts of the world, and there are currently a total of 84 students in our district. This year the Cancún Rotary Club is hosting seven students from Europe, Asia and South America. They have a life changing experience in our country, discovering another culture and traditions and becoming part of their host families, this year and forever!
What are the benefits?
Exchange students unlock their true potential to:
- Develop lifelong leadership skills
- Learn a new language and culture
- Build lasting friendships with young people from around the world
- Become a global citizen
How long do exchanges last?
Long-term exchanges last a full academic year, and students attend local schools and live with multiple host families.
