- This slide shows you the overlap between Rotary’s programs for young leaders. We know that everyone in this room is active in Rotary Youth Exchange, and we encourage you to assess how the other programs for young people can be activated in your district. When all programs are active and well-supported—by sponsor clubs and by district leaders—young people have the greatest chance to transition from one program to the next. For instance, a returning Rotary Youth Exchange student may be the charter president of a new Interact club in her school. RYLA can provide leadership training to Rotaract officers while sparking the creation of new Rotaract clubs…or introducing Rotaractors to New Generations Service Exchange. We know that young people under 30 are in a dynamic time of their life—where they relocate for university, work, or family—this transition is a challenge of the club, the district, and Rotary worldwide. But this challenge is also a great opportunity: we estimate that there are almost 500,000 people that have participated in one or more of these programs annually215,000 Interactors330,000 Rotaractors25,000 RYLA participants7,000, Youth Exchange StudentsThis is a conservative estimate of only one year -- think of how many people have participated in these programs over the last ten, twenty, or fifty years!
- Represents 348 districts and 56 countriesCount of districts includes those whose multidistricts answered on their behalf (ESSEX, North Star, Ohio-Erie, Florida were the ones in North America)Total of exchanges reported is 319 less than last yearHowever:Due to the transition of New Generations exchange to New Generations Service Exchange, we did not collect data on that type. Last year 181 were reported. So, removing New Generations exchanges from the equation, this year’s total is only 138 lower than last year.And this year’s response rate was 11% lower than last year (details on next slide)
- Worldwide response rate is 11% lower than last yearNorth American response rate is 15% lower than last yearSince the response rate is 11% lower, but the total number of exchanges is only 138 lower (when you don’t count New Generations exchanges), we can safely assume that exchange activity remained the same or even increased
- *Due to incomplete or illegible records, 11% of 2009-10 inbound student data could not be assigned to any regionNorth America is steady at hosting about 30% of total exchanges (ranges from 29% - 33%)
- Different view of same data
- 5,513 long-term exchanges reportedFairly steady number of exchanges reportedHowever, this is a decrease of 78 from last year’s total of 5,591
- This year we were able to get a more accurate count by country because we enhanced the survey - asked multi-country districts to specify how many were hosted in each country.You’ll see this resulted in a slight decrease in numbers for long-term exchanges hosted in the US, with an increase in Canada and Mexico
- 2,113 short-term exchanges reportedThis is an increase of 88 from last year’s total of 2,025
- This graph might be a little confusing because it’s based on number of districts, rather than on number of exchangesIt’s a subset of responding districts – of all responding districts who indicated they hosted short-term exchanges, this percentage indicated they hosted this typeIf a district indicated they hosted more than one type, we included them in calculations for each relevant typeSo, we can say that 66% of districts who hosted short-term exchanges hosted homestay programs – NOT that 66% of short-term exchange participants were in homestay programsOnly one district indicated offering a disabled camp, so it’s less than 1% of the total and barely visible in the graph
- Only 4% (275) of exchange participants returned home earlyWe look not only at the data reported to us via the annual survey, but also the individual (required) reporting of early returns throughout the year
- 275 early returns reported – comprising 4% of all exchangesThis is an increase of 7 from last year’s total of 268This graph differs from the next graph - This graph takes all the early returns worldwide and shows us which region hosted them. So, 33% of all the early returns were hosted in North America. However, this does NOT say that 33% of the students hosted in North America returned home early. The next graph addresses that question.
- This graph shows each region’s early exchanges as a percent of the total exchanges they hostedSo, 4% of the students hosted by North America returned home earlyThis is consistent with the worldwide rate of 4% early returns
- Top 12 by count of early returns
- Top 12 by count of early returns
- Top 12 by early returns as percentage of each country’s total exchanges hostedDoesn’t include “other” because this is not looking at percent of whole – it’s looking at each country’s early returns as a percent of that country’s total exchangesPhilippines and Paraguay are much higher simply because their total hosted is much lower – should not necessarily be interpreted as an indicator of program quality. As we all know, it is possible for early returns to occur in very well run programs.
- Top 12 by early returns as percentage of each country’s total exchanges hostedIt’s not a pie because it’s not looking at percent of whole – it’s looking at each country’s early returns as a percent of that country’s total exchanges
- Ordered by the number of times each issue was cited as a cause (regardless of importance)Scale at bottom represents number of districts who indicated each issue as a cause (this question was not required, so not all districts responded)
- Same data as previous slide, but re-ordered - by the number of times causes were cited as “very important” (dark blue)

- An Online CommunityThe Board requested seven specific features to support the social business strategy. As part of the redesign of www.rotary.org, an online community will be launched with these new features (from August-December 2013). Profiles: comprehensive individual profiles with the ability to search attributes and interests, a photo, a Rotary “resume,” classification, skills, languages, and contact informationConnect: ability to create and maintain a network of contacts through My RotaryMessaging: capability to contact others through the platform without using external email accounts or sharing contact dataGroups: ability to create private groups based on Rotary business needs. This will be a place for fellowships, RAGS, and others with similar interests to meet and have online discussions.Ideas: implementation of an idea and project matching platform. Rotarians can post an idea or project to request partners for grants, volunteers for projects, and experts or connections. Calendar: creation of a comprehensive Rotary calendar containing local and regional events. Rotarians can add events for their clubs or groups. Rotary International can promote RI meetings such as the convention. Users can search by location, finding events near them, or in locations where they plan to visit.Marketplace: a clearinghouse where Rotarians who are already creating online tools can make them available via link or download to other RotariansAt launch in August 2013, these features will be available to Rotarians and Rotaractors. Future phases will include alumni, program participants, spouses, and non-Rotarians so that we can expand Rotary’s reach through the online community.
