Lynn,

Our Rotary District is offering the following experience for students ages
15-18.  Do you know of any?

This is really a great experience and any students who have participated in
the past have gained greatly.  Even though this year is virtual, it will
still be meaningful.

Our District is:

*Our district starts just above Philadelphia near Springfield
Flourtown  and goes North about 80 miles to Slatington & Nazareth  taking
in the Bethlehem and Allentown Area's and is about 100 miles across from
Reading in the West to Morrisville Yardley in the East just near the state
line with New Jersey.*

But if you know of a student who is not in this district and interested, we
can refer them to the appropriate district.

Please let me know.  Thanks.

*Linda Mackey*

Check out this link.  The Rotary Youth Exchange program for the academic
year 2021-22 has decided to have a VIRTUAL exchange over our summer
months.  *Applications are due by April 23rd.  *This will replace the
typical long term exchange program for the upcoming academic year due to
the pandemic.  We expect to return to normal long term exchanges in 2022-23
academic year.

The cost is $125 to participate in our virtual program.  Students may get
$75 rebate upon successful completion of the program.  Academic
scholarships are available if necessary.  Please reach out to me for more
information.

*What does a virtual exchange look like?* Each participating student will
be matched with a student from another country.  During the initial
conversations, they will be guided by a Youth Exchange Officer.  As they
become familiar with the process, they will connect with their exchange
partner and cover a variety of topics on their own. Topics range from
school life, holidays and festivals, family life and traditions, virtual
tours of local places of interest, foods of your country, cooking
demonstrations, sharing music and dance, local language tips and phrases,
jobs and career thoughts and a end with a service project.  This project
may be participating in an existing project or creating one of their own
(and our club will help support it).

District 7430 will gather the participating students on a Zoom call about
once a month to check on the progress, exchange ideas and expand their
local network of students sharing international experiences.

*Do you know of any high school students ages 15-18 who would like to
participate? * If they fall outside of our club's footprint and you feel
they would be a great fit for the program, let me know and I will connect
them with their local Rotary Club's Youth Exchange Officer.

This should be a fun way to learn about another culture.  Let's do what we
can to secure at least one student to participate with our Summer 2021
Virtual Exchange. I am happy to answer any questions you or a student has
about the opportunity.  Our youth are our future.  Let's support them and
provide experiences to help them grow.  I have attached the application to
this email which is customized for our club.  You may forward it to a
student who is a good candidate to participate.
