The D7070 Rotary Youth Exchange Committee is pleased to have a Rotary Exchange Student arriving shortly in the City of Toronto for the first time since 2017-18. The Rotary Club of Scarborough is sponsoring a student with support from the Rotary Club of Toronto East & Toronto. They are currently looking for 1 or 2 more host families to look after a male student from Denmark for a period of 3 to 3.5 months. Ideally, the host house would be within 30 minutes by transit from Riverdale Collegiate Institute 1094 Gerrard St E, Toronto.Who can serve as a host family?
The world is full of families of all shapes and sizes, and the Rotary Youth Exchange program reflects that. Our host families include: married couples, single adults, families with children, families without children, young families, and older families. Family dynamics of all kinds – with a broad range of socioeconomic backgrounds and lifestyles – have hosted with great success. Although the program is hosted by Rotary International, and you will work closely with your local Rotary Club and the Rotary Club Counselor and Youth Exchange Officer during your student’s exchange, you are not required to be a Rotarian to participate. The only real requirements are an open heart, an open mind, and the time, space, and energy to care for an exceptional young adult with a rich culture to share.
Training and support will be provided.
If are interested in hosting or know someone who might be please contact Sonya Chouljian rotarysonya3@gmail.com rotarysonya3@gmail.com. Sonya is a member of the District Youth Exchange Committee and a member of the Rotary Club of Scarborough
