ROTEX Chicago
Serving District
6450 & 6440
What is ROTEX?
“ROTEX” refers to an organization of Rotary Exchange students that have returned home from their year-long exchange.
Why the need for ROTEX?
- Rotary Exchange returnees or “rebounds” quickly learn that only other rebounds can truly share and understand their personal excitement about their travels and experiences in their second country.
- Socializing and working with other rebounds helps the young adults to reintegrate into their original culture, yet continue to grow as the international person they have become.
- ROTEX involvement helps the students to remain integrated in Rotary, the organization they know is responsible for molding their lives as global citizens.
What does ROTEX Chicago do?
- Support the current inbounds
- Give guidance and support to future outbounds
- Increase the awareness of the Youth Exchange Program in the community
- Maintain the close connection to other past exchange students
- Connect potential host families with the Rotary Clubs
- Coordinate with Rotary Clubs in surrounding districts to promote the Youth Exchange Program
