On August 10, YEOs (Youth Exchange Officers), YECs (Youth Exchange Counselors), Youth Exchange Committee members, and Youth Services Committee members from across D6330 gathered on Zoom for the first YEO & YEC Training session on the 2022-2023 Rotary year. There was lots of excitement as we talked about welcoming our first Inbound students to the District in 3 years!
We covered a number of topics, including the Inbound program, the Outbound program, host families, and even the very exciting RYE regulatory framework. If you're a member of a club that's thinking of getting involved in Youth Exchange, or just want to know more about the program, email Ross Barnett, D6330 RYE Chair, at ross.barnett@rye6330.org. We are always looking for additional clubs to get involved by either hosting Inbound students or sending (sponsoring) Outbound students. As many past students and any Rotarian who's been involved in the program will tell you, it's one of the most rewarding programs and experiences in Rotary.
If you would like a link to the recording as well as other helpful and relevant links and documents from last week's meeting, please email Kirk Langford, D6330 RYE Outbound Coordinator, at kirk.langford@rye6330.org.
Our next YEO & YEC Training session, which will cover different but related topics, will be in November 2022, and the third and final YEO & YEC Training session of the 2022-2023 Rotary year will be in March 2023.
