Short
Term Exchanges:Applications are due to the Districtby
December 1, so we can get them to ESSEX byDecember 15. Matching will occur in
late December andstudents will begin to receive notification in January. Long
Term Exchanges - Outbound:Same as for Short Term.The
Long Term application is measurably longer and more complicated, so students interested
in the long term pro-gram should have their applications started in early October.
Remember the exchange programs are open toyouth of Rotarians and non-Rotarians
alike. Long Term Exchanges - Inbound:Individual
clubs or groupsof clubs planning to host an inbound student need to identifythat
intention to me between now and December 1. I need toknow your preferences with
regard to gender and country of origin. This year we have students from Poland,
England,Mexico, Taiwan, and Japan. Our goal is to have an ex-change student in
each of our 11 areas, but that means a commitment by one or more clubs in each
area to host the student. Requirements are financial support (about $1500), a
Rotarian from the host club of record to act as YouthCounselor for the student,
and 2-3 host families, who need NOT be Rotarians. The first host family needs
to be identified by about March of next year, the second by June, and the third
by September. PLEASE contact me as early
as possible with respect to any of the above. I am more than happy to assist students
wishing to participate in the program with their applications. I am also available
to speak personally with any clubs that would like to discuss further the opportunity
to host an inbound student. ——Robert L Newton, Chairman |
