Rotary Youth Exchange
The most powerful force in the promotion of international understanding and peace is exposure to different cultures. The world becomes a smaller, friendlier place when we learn that all people - regardless of nationality -- desire the same basic things: a safe, comfortable environment that allows for a rich and satisfying life for our children and ourselves. Youth Exchange provides thousands of young people with the opportunity to meet people from other lands and to experience their cultures. This plants the seeds for a lifetime of international understanding.

Since 1927, students and host families all over the world have had their horizons broadened and their lives enriched by the generosity of Rotary's Youth Exchange program. Administered by Rotary clubs, districts and multidistrict groups, the program today involves more than 82 countries and over 8,000 students each year.

Uthrotars
Each month during the school year, (except Dec. & May) The Rotary Club of Wausau invites 2 students (Uthrotars) from the area high schools to attend our meetings, learn more about Rotary International and become acquainted with fellow Rotarians. The Uthrotars are nominated and are encouraged to seek out and inquire of those Rotarians in a similar field/profession of their own vocational interest.
