Outbounds

CSRYE provides students in the Central United States and parts of Ontario between the ages of 16 and 18 the opportunity of a lifetime! It’s a chance to spend 11 months in another country learning the language and culture. Students generally apply in August and September to go on exchange the following year.

Outbound students and their parents are guided through orientation and information about the country of their exchange year. Outbound students typically stay with two or three Rotary-approved families and receive a monthly stipend for incidental expenses. Rotary Youth Exchange outbound students need to be above average students who are eager for the chance to try new things and meet new people. You will learn about other cultures, about other people and about yourself.

Contact your local Rotary Club today for more information.
