Coronado High School students interested in spending a year abroad can learn about the Rotary Youth Exchange program at an information night Thursday, Nov. 12.
The session runs from 6 to 7 p.m. in Room 202 at Coronado High School, according to the Coronado Times. Students and their families are invited.
The program has been available to CHS students for more than 20 years, and dozens of Islanders have participated. More than 100 countries take part in the exchange each year.
Karen Strabala, chair of the Coronado Rotary Youth Exchange Committee, has led the local program for close to two decades, according to the Coronado Times. Options include a full academic year with a host family, a short-term summer exchange or an international summer camp, according to Rotary District 5340.
Rotary District 5340 is also seeking families willing to host incoming exchange students for stints lasting a few weeks to a few months.
Families can email Strabala at [email protected] or visit youthexchange5340.org for details ahead of the Nov. 12 session.
