The Rotary Friendship Exchange Program offers Rotarians and their families the opportunity to carry out reciprocal visits, living for a few days in the homes of Rotarian families in other countries. The goal of the program is to advance international understanding, goodwill and peace through interpersonal contact across national boundaries.

There are two types of Friendship Exchanges:

The Visitor Program in which individual Rotarians, who may be accompanied by family members, spend a few days in the home of a Rotarian in another country;

The Team Program in which a number of couples, typically from four to six, visit several communities in the host district for up to one month. The number of couples and length of stay is flexible, as long as it is agreed upon by the districts involved.

If you are interested as an individual or forming a team from your club for a friendship exchange, contact Mary Durling to assist you in the matching process.
