A preconference session for new district Youth Exchange chairs, district governors, and governor-elects, designed to provide an orientation to the different exchange types and the RI certification program.
This program will outline the responsibilities for all Rotary Youth Exchange volunteers. Discussions
will review both Rotary International, as well as Department of State rules and regulations needed for a Rotary Club to host international students.
For those Rotary volunteer attendees, including Club level Youth Exchange Officer’s and Club Counselors, this session will meet necessary DOS and RI certification requirements.
Students have the opportunity of a lifetime to engage in new cultures, see the world, and shift their perspective through Rotary Youth Exchange. As administrators, we must prepare them for their upcoming year. Learn from experienced YEOs and share your stories as we consider the best methods to equip our students for their best year yet.

WASH in Schools Target Challenge: Sharing Success, Overcoming Obstacles, Find...Rotary International
The WASH in Schools Target Challenge is underway with projects in Kenya, India, Guatemala, Honduras, and Belize. Celebrate the successes we've seen in these countries and learn how organizers have overcome challenges along the way. We'll devote the final 30 minutes of this session to connecting Rotarians interested in partnering on these exciting projects together.
The Rotary Foundation Cadre of Technical AdvisersElizabeth Toms
Learn the important role that cadre members play in
advising grant applicants, ensuring proper stewardship
of Foundation funds, and promoting practices that lead to
stronger, more sustainable grant projects.
Global grants support large international activities with
sustainable, measurable outcomes in Rotary’s areas of focus.
If you haven’t participated in a global grant project, this
session is for you. You’ll learn the basics of global grants and
understand how to get started.
Rotary's program participants and alumni possess a great deal of expertise that can enhance grant and service projects. But it can be difficult for alumni and Rotarians to connect. In this session, hear from alumni and Rotarians who have worked together on successful projects as they discuss how they found each other and the best ways that each can contribute to the other's good work.
Every year, Rotary International conducts over 40 research
studies, and Rotary clubs and districts do unknown amounts
of research on their own. Many Rotarians answer surveys
and participate in focus groups, but they often don’t learn
the results of the research. Learn highlights from some
of Rotary’s most important and interesting studies, hear
about research that clubs and districts are involved in, and
learn the impact research is making on the future of our
organization.
Walk through on the volunteer lifecycle, program building process, volunteer opportunity examples, and challenges you may face when you create an alumni volunteer program.
Funding Water, Sanitation & Hygiene Operations & Maintenance for the Long TermRotary International
Rotarians and partners often focus on the initial investment in providing water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) services. But sustainability depends on generating a perpetual stream of money to fund operations, maintenance, and rehabilitation. A panel of Rotarians will discuss options such as earning revenue from water or sanitation supply chain management, contractual fee-for-service models, water kiosks, renting or selling filters, microfinancing, revolving funds, co-ops, and subsidies.
Just as doing your homework is a predictor of success in school, conducting community assessments is a predictor of successful service. Working with a variety of local stakeholders is essential to implementing meaningful, sustainable, and capacity-building projects. In this session, you will gain a better understanding of various approaches to community assessments, along with strategies you can use to lay the groundwork for effective project development, implementation, and evaluation.
Be part of a conversation about Rotary’s future — in 2020
and beyond. What challenges does our organization face,
and what opportunities can we seize going forward? We’ll
discuss the charge of the Strategic Planning Committee as it
works to develop the next vision for Rotary.
Whether you’re a future club president, Foundation chair, or just passionate about fundraising, this session will teach you about the Annual Fund and how to establish or promote a culture of philanthropy in your club. We’ll discuss ways to encourage first-time donors, thank and recognize donors, and celebrate The Rotary Foundation’s centennial.
Since the first contribution of $26.50, our Endowment
Fund has grown to more than $350 million in net assets
and $770 million in promises of future gifts. Learn how the
endowment continues to grow, how it is invested, how it
supports grants, and how we are working to strengthen its
impact over the Foundation’s second century of service.
Creating your personal legacy within the endowment
is covered in two complementary sessions: “Rotary’s
Tomorrow Depends on What We Do Today” and “Enhance
Your Rotary Legacy with U.S. Tax-Wise Gift Options.”
How does club and district planning drive membership
growth? Hear about actual Rotary club experiences from
panelists, along with metrics to illustrate how planning
increases retention, attracts new members, and boosts our
impact on the world.
Best Practices To Strengthen Annual Fund GivingElizabeth Toms
Whether you’re a future club president, Rotary Foundation
committee chair, or just passionate about fundraising, this
session will teach you about the Annual Fund and how to
establish or promote a culture of philanthropy in your club.
We’ll discuss ways to encourage first-time donors and thank
and recognize people who give.
Group Study Exchange (GSE) may have ended, but you can still participate in cultural exchanges. Enhance and extend your existing international relationships and Foundation projects or start new ones as you engage your members. Not sure how? Hear from districts that annually sponsor successful international exchanges, paid for with District Designated Funds, and learn a few best practices and pitfalls to avoid in crafting your own.
Global grants support large international activities with sustainable, measurable outcomes in Rotary’s areas of focus. Hear an overview of global grants and the importance of Rotarian involvement in monitoring and evaluation. Learn about scholarships and how you can sponsor or host global grant scholars. By the end of the session you’ll understand the components of a quality project and be prepared to start your global grant application.
A discussion on ways to engage clubs and Rotarians with Rotary Youth Exchange, both to grow the program and to revitalize Rotary in your area.

Post Exchange Student Survey
• The Post Exchange Working Group was
formed in 2011 by the Youth Exchange
Committee with the purpose of surveying
Youth Exchange students to gather valuable
information on how students experience
their exchanges.
• The information acquired through the
surveys is compiled into reports which are
then made available at the district and global
level.

Why a Student Post Exchange Survey?
• Originally because of several years of
unusually high numbers of Early Returns
• It is now also a significant tool for continuous
improvement
• Uniform Questions – same avaluations
• Allows for Global comparisons

Why measure?

Why measure?
• “When you can measure what you are
speaking about, and express it in
numbers, you know something about it.
When you cannot express it in numbers,
your knowledge is of a meager and
unsatisfactory kind”. – Willian Thomson

Why is it Important to Engage Clubs with YE?
Club Support
• We see a strong correlation between feeling
included by the host club and the overall
results of the exchange
• Remember, this is based on reports by the
students, not an objective analysis
• But, it appears that when the club includes
the student, the exchange goes better.

Why is it Important to Engage Clubs with YE?
Counselor support
Based on students’ responses to the question
“My relation with my counselor was good”
• Poor (377) Good (1079)

Why is it Important to Engage Clubs with YE?
Club Support
• Again, this is based on the students’
reports of their relationship with the

role and the outcome of the exchange

Editor's Notes
The term engagement can mean a great deal of things, even within the subject of membership and volunteer organizations and “engaging members” can take many forms.
When Rotary talks about engagement strategies, what we are really talking about is interaction, fellowship, motivation, and inspiration. Engagement is a tool to build a stronger community of members and a stronger club. Those features are what keep members coming back to meetings and that is retention.
