Rotary International District 6940

 

Youth Programs


Five Rotary Programs — Interact, Rotaract, RYLA, Youth Camp and Youth Exchange — help provide young people with education and valuable life skills to ensure a better future.

Youth Camp

The North Florida Rotary Youth Camp is supported by the Rotary Clubs in the eastern part of District 6940 around Tallahassee, and is dedicated to giving your child an unequaled camping experience. The camp enables campers to grow in self-confidence and to experience success in physical activities and human relationships.

Rotary Youth Camp is intended for any child, age 9-16, with a physical limitation, which would make it difficult or impossible to participate at other camps.

Youth Exchange

Every year approximately 7,000 students ages 15 to 19 go abroad under the auspices of the Rotary Youth Exchange program, either for the academic year or an extended period of time. The increased self awareness and global perspective that they derive from the experience would not be possible without the commitment of the many volunteer host families and the dedication of those Rotarians who serve as Youth Exchange officers. In fact, this commitment and enthusiasm is transferred to many exchange students who continue their involvement after their exchange as members of ROTEX.
