Group Study Exhange

print this page

Involvement with the Rotary Foundation, a multi-million dollar investment of

Rotary International, provides an opportunity for the local club to participate in

the development of international understanding and good will with many nations

of the world. Each year the local club hosts a Group Study Exchange team

(young business and professional leaders) from a foreign country, or is provided

an opportunity to a local candidate for a District 597 team to spend 5-6 weeks

in a foreign country. The Group Study Exchange is a Rotary International project

funded with Rotary Foundation assets. Each year, the District is eligible to

nominate 1 to 2 candidates to the International club to be evaluated for eligibility

to participate.

Charles City has been fortunate to have several of its citizens selected to participate.
