Host Family Orientation

As a key function in your role as a Rotary Youth Exchange officer, you are the primary contact for your Inbound’s host families.

Your Orientation meetings with your host families allow you the opportunity to provide an in-depth look at what these valuable partners in the Rotary Youth Exchange experience can expect when they host an Inbound student. The U.S. Department of State has a series of requirements which must be provided and/or discussed during your Orientation meeting, as follows (please open the links by selecting the items).
