In March, The Rotary Youth Exchange Students were busy at the Rotary Flavours of Port Hope Fundraiser. Helping run the event, efficiently & with a smile. So great to have them as part of our District. Many clubs in the District Participating in Rotary Youth Exchange: Picton Rotary Rotary Club of Wellington, Ontario , Trenton, ON Rotary Club, Stirling Rotary Club, Northumberland Sunrise Rotary, Rotary Club of Port Hope, Rotary Club of Scarborough, Canada , Toronto East Rotary, The Rotary Club of Toronto
What does an outgoing exchange student do on their March Break? In March, Callie, who is sponsored by Picton Rotary & Rotary Club of Wellington, Ontario, spent a day visiting both of her clubs & also attending a Sew Girls Can Go To School event helping sew over 419 finished liners, almost finished another 200 and had begun another 400. #sewgirlscangotoschool #RotaryInAction #epicdayofservice
The Youth learned outdoor skills, history, games, teamwork all while learning from each other on how to make the best of their exchange years. We had the inbounds share their experiences and knowledge with the soon to be outgoing students while the committee members also provided valuable information on strategies and tools to help them manage the up and downs of their exchange year. The 2026-27 Outbound students learned where they will be going on their exchanges which is the highlight on the weekend.
