The Lions Youth Exchange Program caters for both inbound and outbound youth and is a wonderful opportunity for youth to travel to exciting international destinations for up to six weeks.
In July this year a number of young men and women will fly into Australia to be part of the Lions Australian Winter Youth Exchange Program.
“Seeking Host Families” 95 students have been placed to date and while this is a good result we still need to find host families for the remaining 25.
Students requiring host families will be arriving from Denmark, Germany, Slovenia, USA, Hungary, Indonesia, Turkey, Poland, Taiwan, Mexico, UK and Northern Ireland.
You do not have to a member of the Lions Club to host an overseas exchange student.
