Rotary Friendship Exchange

Rotary Friendship Exchange is Rotary's international exchange program for Rotarians and their families. Friendship Exchange provides participants the opportunity to experience other cultures by staying in the homes of Rotarians in other countries. The program aims to advance international understanding and peace through personal contact across borders while developing interclub relationships for fellowship and service projects.

There are three types of Friendship Exchanges:

Visitor Program
Individual Rotarians, who may be accompanied by family members, spend a few days in the home of a Rotarian in another country.

Team Program
Rotarian couples, typically four to six, visit several communities in a host district for up to one month.

Uni-vocational Program
Host and guest Rotarians of the same occupation observe how their job is done in other countries.
