Grade ten and eleven students \u2013 Rotary Youth Exchange Program<\/b><\/p>\n
Interested in participating in a Rotary International Youth Exchange Program, attending school in<\/p>\n
another country for one school year starting in September of 2015?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
One student will be selected from the Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows area to participate and will be<\/p>\n
hosted by a Rotary Club in another country to be chosen by Rotary International. Over the years<\/p>\n
Students from this area have attended school in France, Spain, Belgium, Germany, Argentina, Japan<\/p>\n
and other locations around world.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The cost to participate in the program is minimal including return air fare, travel and medical insurance<\/p>\n
and any incidental travel expenses while the student is in the host country. The host Rotary club will<\/p>\n
arrange for the selected student to stay with one or more host families through the year and will<\/p>\n
provide a monthly allowance and generally adopt their student for the year.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In order to participate your parents will need to agree to be one of three host families who will host an<\/p>\n
incoming exchange student from another country for three months during the school year.<\/p>\n

If you are interested you and your parents are invited to attend an information evening sponsored by<\/p>\n
the Meadowridge and Haney Rotary Clubs at 7 pm on Tuesday, November 4th<\/sup> at the Maple Ridge<\/p>\n Secondary School library, 21911 122 Avenue, Maple Ridge.
