Rotary International is the world's oldest international service organization with 1.2 million members and over 32,000 clubs in nearly 200 countries. Each year, 8,000 high school students participate in the Rotary Youth Exchange program worldwide, learning a new language and experiencing a new culture. The programs in Florida are growing as Rotary members are taking more foreign-exchange students in for semesters of school or summers where the student can become immersed in American culture. Large numbers of students in the programs in Florida also set off to experience different areas of the world for semesters at a time, from Brazil to France to Taiwan.
