Welcome to North Star Rotary Youth Exchange!
We are very happy that you will be coming to District 5950 / 5960, in
Minnesota and Wisconsin, for your exchange year. We believe that your
participation in the Rotary Youth Exchange Program will be a life-changing year
of personal growth, cultural awareness and world understanding. A Rotary club
and host family has been carefully chosen for you and eagerly awaits your
arrival.
During your exchange year, you will learn about our way of life, our school
system, our culture, food and language. While much of your time will be spent
with your host family and the friends you will make in your community, you will
also become well acquainted with other Rotary Youth Exchange students in our
district. You will make friends with exchange students from all over the world and
will return to your home country with a broader view of the world.
Your exchange experience will depend largely on what you make of the
situations and opportunities that arise. We believe that this manual will help you
prepare for your year of exchange. We warmly welcome you to North Star
Rotary Youth Exchange.

Practical Information
Your Arrival in Minnesota
Your North Star Country Officer will contact you regarding the date you
should plan to arrive in Minnesota. Most students are asked to arrive in mid to
late August, a week or two before the start of our school year. Students from
South Africa and New Zealand arrive in mid January, in time for second
semester. Please respect our advice on travel dates, as we want you to arrive
on a date and time that is convenient for your host family to meet you at the
airport.
Length of Exchange Year
The duration of your exchange year is about 11 months. You will receive a
visa valid for one year (365 days) and will need to return to your home country
within one year. If you participate in the Rotary-sponsored East Coast Tour, you
must return home by July 6. If you do not participate in the East Coast Tour, then
you must return home by June 19, unless by special arrangement. January
arrivals return home in late December or early January.
Our Climate
You will experience four distinct seasons of weather in Wisconsin and
Minnesota. Summers can be hot (average maximum temperature in July is 83
degrees Fahrenheit / 28 degrees Celsius) and winters cold (average minimum
temperature in January is 4 degrees in Fahrenheit / 15 Celsius). Average snowfall
in Minnesota is 36 inches / .9 meters in the southern part of the state, and 70
inches / 1.8 meters in northern Minnesota. You will need to borrow or buy a
winter coat. A good quality winter coat can be purchased for approximately
$100.

Wisconsin will be closed on the days listed below.

Language Skills
Your success as an exchange student will largely depend on your ability to
speak English. It is very important that you have basic verbal communication
skills in English when you arrive in our district. This is necessary for successful
communication with your host family and teachers, and to ensure that you are
able to make friends and have meaningful conversations leading to
acculturation. Please begin your study of English before you come to the U.S.
Your host families, friends, teachers and Rotarians will appreciate your effort to
learn the language of our country.
Insurance Requirements
All students coming to District 5950 / 5960 are required to have insurance
during their exchange year. The policy we require was written for participating
districts of the Rotary Youth Exchange program and is offered by CISI Bolduc:
https://www.mycisi.com/YEPortalWeb/pub/SelfEnrollment.aspx
Please purchase insurance policy “Plan B”. You may complete the
application form online. Your North Star Country Officer will contact you with
specific information you will need to complete the online application.
Exceptions to use of CISI Bolduc insurance must have prior approval by the
host district.
Immunization Requirements
Our schools require specific immunizations for enrollment. You will be asked to
complete and return to us an Inbound Student Immunization Form, proving that
you have received the required immunizations. Please make certain you have
these immunizations before traveling to our district.
The list of required immunizations is shown below.

required insurance, we will provide you with the Guarantee Form necessary for
you to apply for a “J” visa to enter the United States. You may apply for a visa
at a U.S. Embassy or Consulate in your home country.
Emergency Contact Information

you will carry with you at all times.

Rotary
Geography of Our District
North Star Rotary Youth Exchange is a multi-district program, including Rotary
International Districts 5950 and 5960. This area comprises the southern half of
Minnesota and the western part of Wisconsin. Included in the North Star Rotary
Youth Exchange service area is the metropolitan area of the Twin Cities of
Minneapolis and St. Paul (3 million inhabitants) and the surrounding towns and
countryside.
Your host city may be within the Twin Cities metropolitan area or may be a
smaller city outside of the metropolitan area. Rotary events often take place in
the Twin Cities. Please plan to fly to the Minneapolis / St. Paul International
airport (MSP) when you book your travel itinerary.
Our District Committee administers the program, along with Country Officers
(Appendix B) and host club Youth Exchange Officers. Your host will have primary
responsibility for you during your year of exchange. You will be appointed a
Rotary counselor, who will be your primary contact during your year, should you
have questions or concerns about your host family or school. Your Country
Officer, who is not a member of your host Rotary club, is available to assist you if
you have issues associated with your Rotary club.
Countries with Which We Exchange
Our district exchanges with about 36 countries. You will have the opportunity
to meet and become lifelong friends with Rotary Exchange Students from all
over the world.

Attending Rotary Meetings
You will be expected to attend the weekly meeting of your host Rotary club.
Exceptions will be granted if attendance means that you miss an important class
or event at school. You will be asked to make at least one presentation to your
host Rotary club. Please plan for this! Your presentation may be verbal only. Most
Rotary club members would like to see a PowerPoint presentation that includes
photos of your family, your home and your city. Plan to wear your Rotary blazer
when attending Rotary functions.
Monthly Allowance
During your exchange year, you will receive a monthly allowance of
approximately $80. This monthly allowance is to help you cover your personal
expenses. Host Rotary clubs have varying methods of providing this money to
10
you. Some will set up a bank account for you, while others will pay you your
allowance in cash.
Emergency Funds
You must bring the equivalent of US $400 as contingency funds to be used for
emergency situations. These funds will be kept by your host Rotary club and
used for your medical, dental or other emergency needs. Unused funds will be
returned to you at the end of your exchange year.
Travel Guidelines
Travel within the United States with your host family, with host club members
and for district functions is permitted. We strongly discourage unaccompanied
travel by inbound exchange students. If you request any unaccompanied travel
during your exchange year, you will be required to meet the following
guidelines:
 Demonstrate that you are reliable, trustworthy, and are doing well in
school
 Travel will be granted to visit adult relatives only
 An unaccompanied travel permission form, with the signature of your
natural parents, host parents, host Rotary club representative, Country
Officer, and District Youth Exchange Chair, is required.
All decisions regarding unaccompanied travel requests are final. If your trip is
not approved, you cannot travel. International travel while on exchange
requires the completion of special U.S. Department of State paperwork. This will
require guidance from your country officer. Contact your country officer early,
so that this paperwork can be completed well in advance of any international
travel.
Visits from Family and Friends
Visits by your parents, legal guardians or siblings while you are on exchange
are strongly discouraged. Such visits may take place only with your host club’s
and the district’s consent and within the district’s guidelines. Such visits may be
arranged only after you have been on exchange for six months and are not
allowed during major holidays. Friends are not allowed to visit. Siblings may visit
only if accompanied by a parent/guardian.
11
Please discuss any visits being considered with your host club counselor and
your country officer before airline tickets are purchased, so that we can provide
guidance regarding the plans, taking into account what is best for you during
your exchange year.
Employment Guidelines
Our inbound students sometimes ask about working during their exchange
year. The United States Information Agency (USIA) regulates employment. These
regulations state that:
“Students may not be employed on either a full-time or part-time
basis but may accept sporadic or intermittent employment such as
babysitting or yard work.”
If you have questions about this policy once you are in the U.S., contact your
Youth Exchange Counselor or Country Officer.
East Coast Tour
A summer East Coast Tour has become an annual scheduled activity,
sponsored by Rotary Districts 5950/5960. This trip is an opportunity for you to
develop friendships, learn some of the history and rich cultural heritage of the
United States, see many interesting sights and have fun.
The 17-day bus tour departs Minnesota in mid June and returns to Minnesota
in early July. The tour includes visits to Chicago, New York, Washington D.C. and
Florida. The tour price is approximately $3,000. A deposit made in January of
your exchange year will reserve your spot, and final payment will be due on
April 15, 2016.
12

The Exchange Student Creed
This is my experience.
Many have been here before
And many will follow –
But this time is mine.
My journey will present
Numerous doors to
Unlimited opportunities.
Some of these doors will be open,
Some will be closed.
But one thing I know for certain:
The key to all doors lies within.
Your Safety During Your Exchange Year
We care about your safety and wellness while you are here. You can expect
assistance from Rotary if you report an incident. When feeling threatened, you
have the right to:
 Trust your instincts or feelings.
 Expect privacy.
 Say “no” to unwanted touching or affection.
 Say “no” to an adult’s inappropriate demands or requests.
 Withhold information that could jeopardize your safety.
 Refuse gifts.
 Be rude or unhelpful if the situation warrants.
 Run, scream and make a scene.
 Physically fight off unwanted advances.
 Ask for help.
 Report any situation in which you feel threatened to your Rotary Host Club
Counselor immediately.
What you can expect from Rotary if you report an incident:
14
 We will listen attentively and assure you it was right to tell someone.
 We will stay calm and make sure you feel safe.
 We will explain that we have to tell someone else.
 We will only ask questions to establish “what” and “who” and not jump to
conclusions or promise to take a specific action until the situation is
thoroughly investigated.
 We will take detailed notes of what you say, recording dates and times.
 We will contact the North Star Rotary Student Protection Officer.
 We will assure you that you are not making things worse by reporting an
incident. Few things are worse than allowing child abuse to continue.
15
Host Families
Adapting to your Host Family
Most students coming to District 5950/5960 will stay with three host families.
During your exchange year, you will be treated as a member of your host family.
You will not be treated as an honored guest. This means that you will be
expected to comply, within reason, to the requests of your host family, and assist
as other family members are expected to, with cleaning your room, picking up
after yourself, assisting with laundry, clearing the dinner table, etc. You must fit
into the life of your host family and show an active willingness to adapt to your
new environment. Your host family is under no obligation to adapt to your way
of life. We expect you to come to our district with an open mind, an agreeable
outlook, and a desire to adapt.
First Night Questions
You and your host family should discuss anything that you think is important
very soon after your arrival. When you are in a new place with limited language
skill, it is best not to assume anything, but rather, to ask. The simplest questions
may be the most important, such as "where is the bathroom"? You can discuss
other questions, as they seem necessary.
Use of Telephone, Internet and Cell Phone
If you share a home telephone and Internet access with other members of
your host family, you will be expected to limit your use of these devices. Even if
you have your own computer for Internet access, we strongly encourage you to
limit your time online. We prefer that you spend time getting acquainted with
your host family and friends through conversation, which will help you improve
your language skills.
You will either purchase a pay-as-you-go cell phone or be provided with one
that you can use during your year of exchange. You will be expected to pay for
all cell phone charges with your monthly allowance.
16
Exchange Student Safety
We care about your safety during your exchange year and want you to
know that you will be well taken care of during your year in our district. Our
safety guidelines for Rotary exchange students are listed below:
 If you have a problem or are worried about something, always tell
someone you trust about it, such as your host parent, host club counselor
or host club Youth Exchange Officer. Don’t suffer in silence!
 If someone does or says something that bothers you, tell them that you do
not want them to do it again.
 Always pack your own suitcase and never carry items abroad for others.
 When you go out, plan what you would do and where you would go if you
got lost or had a problem – a store, restaurant, police station, or library.
 Before you leave your home, make sure that you have your ID card, given
to you by your Host Rotary District.
 Always tell someone where you are going and when you will be home. Be
sure to call your host parents if your plans change while you are away from
home.
 If you are out at night in a city, stay in places with streetlights. Wherever
you are, make sure that you don’t get separated from your friends.
 If you need to use a public toilet, go with a friend.
 Make sure you know who is coming to pick you up. Never get into a car
with someone you don’t know.
 If you are on a bus or train and someone makes you feel uncomfortable,
move to a seat near the driver.
 Dress and behave sensibly and responsibly.
 Think things through carefully before you act and do not take unnecessary
risks.
 If you get lost or separated, follow your plan – or go to a shop or place
where you will be seen by lots of people to ask directions.
 If someone you don’t know talks to you in a way that makes you feel
uncomfortable, walk away.
17
 Keep your host family’s address and telephone number with you at all
times.
 Always keep enough money with you to make a telephone call.
 Always arrange for someone to pick you up; don’t go home alone.
18
School
High School in the U.S.
You will attend a high school in the United States, with students between 15
to 18 years of age. High schools in the U.S. typically have two semesters, with fall
semester beginning in early September and spring semester ending in early
June. June, July and August are our months of summer vacation. During the
school year, you will have occasional days off to celebrate major holidays as
well as for school-related events. Schedules vary from school to school, but you
can expect to start school at approximately 8:30am, with classes ending at
approximately 2:30pm. Students will often remain at high school for
extracurricular activities (clubs, athletics, music, arts) that meet after the school
day is complete.
You will be expected to attend school every day. Furthermore, we strongly
encourage you to participate in at least one extra-curricular activity each
semester. This can be a very important part of your exchange year, as your
participation provides another means of making friends, learning more about
our culture and values.
You will typically have homework to complete every evening during the
school week. Homework is schoolwork, assigned by your teachers, that is
completed after school or in the evening, and is submitted back to your teacher
to be evaluated and graded. Homework assignments are an important part of
your final grade, so assume that you will be doing homework every night that will
be handed in the following day. We require that you do your best job possible in
school and make an honest attempt to earn good grades. You are expected to
obtain a grade of “C” or better in all of your classes. Plan to work hard and
make a good impression.
If you are required to take specific classes to meet your education
requirements of your home country, please discuss this with your host club
counselor early in your exchange year.
19
School Lunch
Lunch is available for purchase at your school. Your host Rotary club will pay
for your school lunch.

arrival and getting to know you. Welcome to North Star Rotary Youth Exchange!

You are not allowed to possess or use illegal drugs. Medicine prescribed to
you by a physician is allowed.
Drinking alcoholic beverages is expressly forbidden.

student and must abide by the rules and conditions of exchange
provided by the host district. Parents or legal guardians must not authorize
any extra activities directly to you. Any relatives you may have in the host
country will have no authority over you while you are in the program.
9. You must attend school regularly and make an honest attempt to
succeed.
10. You must have travel insurance that provides medical and dental
coverage for accidental injury and illness, death benefits (including
repatriation of remains), disability/dismemberment benefits, emergency
medical evacuation, emergency visitation expenses, 24-hour emergency
assistance services, and legal services, in amounts satisfactory to the host
Rotary club or district in consultation with the sponsor Rotary club or
district, with coverage from the time of your departure from your home
country until your return.
11. You should have sufficient financial support to assure your well being
during your exchange. Your host district may require a contingency fund
21
for emergency situations. Unused funds will be returned to your parents or
legal guardians at the end of your exchange.
12. You must follow the travel rules of your host district. Travel is permitted with
host parents or for Rotary club or district functions authorized by the host
Rotary club or district with proper adult chaperones. The host district and
club, host family, and your parents or legal guardians must approve any
other travel in writing, thus exempting Rotary of responsibility and liability.
13. You must return home directly by a route mutually agreeable to your host
district and your parents or legal guardians.
14. Any costs related to an early return home or any other unusual costs
(language tutoring, tours, etc.) are the responsibility of you and your
parents or legal guardians.
15. You should communicate with your first host family prior to leaving your
home country. The family’s information must be provided to you by your
host club or district prior to your departure.
16. Visits by your parents or legal guardians, siblings, or friends while you are
on exchange strongly discouraged. Such visits may only take place with
the host club’s and district’s consent and within their guidelines. Typically,
visits may be arranged only after the first six months of your exchange and
are not allowed during major holidays.
17. Talk with your host club counselor, host parents, or other trusted adult if
you encounter any form of abuse or harassment.
Recommendations for a Successful Exchange
1.
Respect your host’s wishes. Become an integral part of the host family,
assuming duties and responsibilities normal for a student of your age or for
children in the family.
2.
Learn the language of your host country. Teachers, host parents, Rotary
club members, and others you meet in the community will appreciate the
effort. It will go a long way in your gaining acceptance in the community
and with those who will become lifelong friends.
Attend Rotary-sponsored events and host family events, and show an
interest in these activities. Volunteer to be involved; do not wait to be
asked. Lack of interest on your part is detrimental to your exchange and
can have a negative impact on future exchanges.
3.
22
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
Get involved in your school and community activities. Plan your recreation
and spare-time activities around your school and community friends.
Don’t spend all your time with other exchange students. If there is a local
Interact club, you are encouraged to join it.
Choose friends in the community carefully. Ask for and heed the advice of
host families, counselors, and school personnel in choosing friends.
Do not borrow money. Pay any bills promptly. Ask permission to use the
family phone or computer, keep track of all calls and time on the Internet,
and reimburse your host family each month for the costs you incur.
Limit your use of the Internet and mobile phones. Excessive or
inappropriate use is not acceptable.
If you are offered an opportunity to go on a trip or attend an event, make
sure you understand any costs you must pay and your responsibilities
before you go.
