Each year, the Rotary Club of Gold Beach has the opportunity to sponsor both an inbound and an outbound exchange student.
The inbound student arrives sometime in August and spends the school year with at least three Rotary families in the community while attending Gold Beach High School. Recent exchange students have come to us from Ecuador, Brazil, and Columbia.
The purpose of the exchange program is to promote the understanding of different cultures. Our exchange student attends our weekly meeting and shares their week's experience with the club. During the year, the student also regularly meets with the other exchange students in the District, often forming lasting relationships.
The student often prepares a presentation about their home country for the club.
Recent Outbound students from Gold Beach have traveled as far as Brazil.
