A little history lesson from Rotary International.

In 1931, 44 years before Rotary Youth Exchange became an official program, a group of young men from Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, England, traveled to Hamburg, Germany.

They toured the city, visited local institutions, and connected with Rotary members abroad. Experiences like these — documented in programs like this one from Rotary's archives — laid the groundwork for the cultural exchange, global friendships, and international understanding that continue to define Rotary Youth Exchange today 💛
