Rotary International’s Youth Exchange Program provides an opportunity for high school and gap-year students to live abroad and study for an academic year. Students commit 10 to 12 months toward an extraordinary experience to learn about other cultures, make lifelong connections and develop leadership skills while gaining a deeper understanding of global issues. The program serves as a catalyst for peace and social justice, leaving a lasting impression on young leaders long after their exchanges conclude.
West Allis Central Sophomore, Story Buettner was sponsored by West Allis Rotary, and approved by Rotary District 6270, to participate in next year’s exchange program. Story will leave in August to spend her junior year of high school in Thailand. West Allis Rotary is very proud to sponsor her and to support her efforts.
As part of her preparation, Story is fundraising to support Rotary International’s effort to eradicate polio. She’s produced an informative video and has established a donation site. She’s well on her way to an exceptional experience!
