What type of families are typical hosts for exchange students?
The answer to this question is all types. Some families have no children of their own, a grown up family with no children at home, or small children.
The only proviso for any potential host family is that it provides a stable
and friendly household and is approved by the hosting Rotary club.

What will the duration of the hosting
period be?
This would normally be between 12 to 14 weeks of a 12 month exchange.
During this time the student is obliged to go to school and participate in all
school activities. Students are expected to become participating members of the host family and share in all of those responsibilities. At times there will be some commitments to their host Rotary club. Indeed you may also find that you become involved in some of the club’s activities.

What makes hosting a Rotary
Exchange student a good choice?
Rotary insists that students have a reasonable academic standard, some
spoken English as well as an ability to act as an ambassador for Rotary,
themselves and their national country. All students have received training
which prepares them for their year of exchange. This training is provided
in areas of public speaking, understanding cultural differences, getting on with people etc.

What to do now?
By completing this invitation form, there is no commitment on either
yourself, or by Rotary for you to host a student at any time.
Your interest will simply be recorded and you will be contacted if an
opportunity becomes available.
There will be certain mandatory requirements regarding personal checks
and a personal interview process to further discuss all aspects of the
program before any further commitment is sought.
