The Rotary Friendship Exchange Program provides a means through which Rotarians in one part of the world can experience life in another country or culture, while their families get the opportunity to host Rotarians around the world. In addition to experiencing other cultures and making lasting friendships, an exchange provides a strong foundation for carrying out other international activities and service projects.
