Youth Camps and Exchange (YCE) has programs all around the world and is designed for young people between the ages of 15 and 22 to create and foster a spirit of understanding among peoples of the world. By providing an avenue for global fellowship, the YCE program aims to help youth initiate, grow and maintain international relationships promoting cultural education and international peace.
Youth Exchange does not involve tourism, academic study or employment. Youth are encouraged to use their travel opportunity to share their own culture while experiencing a new one. Exchanges typically last for 4-6 weeks with the help of host families sponsor and host clubs, districts or multiple districts. For more information contact: Lion Dianne Piggott [email protected]
