Rotary Youth Exchange is certified and supervised. The exchange student has to honour the guidelines and rules stipulated by Rotary \u2013 this is a part of safety. The youth and their family are trained to meet the exchange year\u2019s needs before the youth\u2019s departure.<\/p>\n<p>The hosting family treats the youth as their family member. The hosting club takes care of e.g. the student\u2019s educational expenses. The youth also receives a small monthly allowance from his or her hosting Rotary club. The host family does not receive money for providing room and board.<\/p>\n<p>Exchange students coming to Finland need hosting families. During the exchange year, the youth usually spends four months in each of three host families. When you want to offer a safe home for an exchange student coming to Finland, contact the Youth Exchange Officer of our club.<\/p>\n<p>When a Rotary club receives an exchange student from abroad, it also means that, reciprocally, we can send a youth abroad. Going to school abroad is not, by all means, always free for the student, but the hosting club stands for these expenses, too. The youth also gets the same advantages and care as the youth coming to our country.<\/p>\n<p>Most recently youngsters from USA and Brazil have spent a year in Mikkeli while we sent two teenagers to Brazil and Canada.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner admin_label=&#8221;Rivi&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column_inner saved_specialty_column_type=&#8221;2_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Otsikko: Interested in Youth Exchange?&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4>Interested in Youth Exchange?<\/h4>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>Via Rotary you can have access to full academic year exchange, summer or camp exchange.
