The Rotary Club of Tsawwassen is inviting senior students at South Delta Secondary who will be between the ages of 16 and 18 as of Sept. 1, 2016 to become a Rotary exchange student.

The Rotary Youth Exchange Program is cosponsored under agreement among pairs of districts of Rotary International around the world and each year thousands of students participate in the program. Students who are accepted will have the opportunity to study for one year in a senior secondary school in a foreign country. Destinations include many countries in Europe, South America and Asia as well as Mexico.

Last year, Morgan Tucker of Tsawwassen studied in Mexico and this year Kelly Ann Goldberg is studying in Germany. The Rotary Club of Tsawwassen hosted Pierre Keunen from Belgium last year and Mette Lund Piil is here from Denmark for this school year.
