Welcome to Wisconsin! The welcome picnic brought this year’s area Rotary Youth Exchange students, host families and Rotarians together to kick off the school year.
Gerva from Argentina, hosted by the After Hours Rotary Club and attending La Crescent High School
Johann from Germany, hosted by the Rotary Club of La Crosse - Valley View and attending West Salem High School
Lena from Taiwan, hosted by the Holmen Area Rotary Club and attending Holmen High School
Siena from Japan, hosted by the Rotary Club of La Crosse and attending Onalaska High School
Sophia from Spain, who is here for a short-term Rotary Youth Exchange
Rotary Youth Exchange is one of the ways Rotary helps build peace in the world. It gives students, host families and all of us the chance to experience other cultures, break down stereotypes and realize we’re more similar than we are different.
That’s a big part of the why behind our Mini Masters fundraiser each year. Money raised through the event helps support our Youth Exchange efforts and gives students the opportunity to experience a new country and culture. Consider supporting by signing up a team! We’re excited for the year ahead and getting to know these amazing kids!
