The Rotary Youth Exchange program began in the late 1920s with early exchanges likely taking place in Denmark and France. In the following decades, youth exchanges expanded across Europe and other regions. Key developments included the first Youth Exchange convention in 1929, growth of summer camps in Europe in the 1930s, and the first long-term exchanges with countries like Australia, Japan, Brazil, and the United States in the 1950s-1960s. Over time, Rotary International took on a larger role in administering and supporting the youth exchange program through actions like establishing it as an official RI activity in 1974 and introducing certification in 2007. The history shows how youth exchange has helped build global understanding and peace by facilitating relationships between young people and countries

- 19. Youth Exchange students learn how people who seem so different are really the same. They begin to appreciate what unites people everywhere. They have a broader understanding of the world. They come back as different people. Youth Exchange plays an essential part in Rotary’s global mission of building peace by helping to build, one exchange at a time, good relationships between nations.
