Diversity, equity, and inclusion in Rotary Youth Exchange

The primary goal of Rotary Youth Exchange is providing young people with opportunities to experience a cultural exchange and to develop as leaders who promote peace and justice around the world. To achieve this, everyone involved in an exchange — including students and volunteers — must be open-minded, tolerant, and supportive of one another. Access the guide to learn more about how to support LGBTQ+ exchange students, and how Rotary’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion statement applies to Rotary Youth Exchange.
