Discover the world through Rotary's Friendship Exchange

Rotary’s Friendship Exchange program opens doors to unforgettable cultural and personal connections across the globe. Through this international program, Rotary members and friends can take turns hosting one another in their homes or clubs. They travel as individuals, couples, families or groups.

Each exchange is built around one or more themes: culture, service or vocation. The participants are invited to learn about new communities while sharing their own. Travelers gain firsthand insight into regional customs while forming friendships that foster international goodwill.

Whether in person or virtual, every exchange helps broaden global understanding and create pathways for future collaboration.

All exchanges are self-funded by participants or districts, keeping the focus on hospitality and shared experience rather than cost. Ready to begin your adventure? Explore the Exchange Finder Map to discover current opportunities and connect with district Friendship Exchange chairs for guidance.
