Rotary Youth Exchange Australia provides an opportunity of a lifetime for Australian high school students to live and study abroad.
You’ll spend up to 12 months living and studying in a foreign country, learning a lot about yourself and the culture of your host families, host Rotary club, school mates and fellow exchange students.
Rotary’s Youth Exchange Program is recognised by participants, parents and schools as the best student exchange program in the world. It’s run by caring, dedicated Rotarians and their families who volunteer their time to the Rotary Youth Exchange Program, and many are former exchange students themselves!
Rotary volunteers screen student applicants, select the exchange students, prepare them, and arrange hosting abroad, travel, insurance, school admission, visas, etc.
Students often attend Rotary club meetings and get to know Rotarians who are generally the local business and professional leaders of that community. Sometimes these connections benefit students later in life in their academic, business or professional lives.
A Rotary Peace Pole is a simple yet powerful symbol of hope, unity, and commitment to peace. Inscribed with the message “May Peace Prevail on Earth” in multiple languages, it represents a shared aspiration across cultures, faiths, and communities. Installed in public places, Peace Poles create a quiet space for reflection, remembrance, and connection. In times of grief or tragedy a Peace Pole can become a focal point for community gathering, healing, and solidarity, reminding us of our collective responsibility to promote peace, compassion, and understanding in our world.
On 16 December 2025, ministers, mayors, religious groups, and local business leaders gathered in around the Rotary Peace Pole in Riverside Park, Lismore, almost 700 kilometres away, to pay their respects to those lost in the Bondi terror attack the previous day.
