In December the district youth exchange committee will be interviewing prospective candidates from local schools who are interested in becoming Rotary Youth Exchange students next year.
At this point we have several students from Gretna, Lincoln, Millard, and Omaha who will likely be interviewed. If these students are accepted for next year, we would then be bringing in students in exchange to attend schools in our district.
If your club would be interested in hosting an exchange student for the 2025-2026 school year in your community, please contact me.
One of our Youth Exchange students this year is Margo Ponomarenko from Cherkasy, Ukraine. She is attending Lincoln East High School and hosted by Lincoln #14 Rotary Club as a one-way exchange. Click here to read about Margo in this article from the Lincoln East High School newspaper.It is likely that we will also have requests again from Ukraine to host a one way exchange similar to our student Margo Ponomarenko mentioned above.
