WHAT TO EXPECT
Your District Level Interviews will be taking place December 4th, 2021 at the Seabeck Conference Center in Seabeck, WA for US Students and at Vancouver Island University in Nanaimo, BC for Canadian Applicants. The interviews are an opportunity to greet and review the candidates recruited by the individual clubs for Outbound Exchanges from District 5020. The meeting begins with an informal gathering for Youth Exchange Officers Saturday morning. The Outbound Candidates and their parents/guardians will be interviewed by a panel of Rotarians and Rotex or Rebound Students. The students will reconfirm their country requests; if selected the student will be offered a placement in a host country. This will also be the first chance for candidates and their families to meet with the District Committee. From this point forward, the placement and exchange details for each student will be handled by representatives of the Committee.
Please note that meals and accommodation are at the expense of the Outbound Candidate’s Parents for their family and student except for Saturday's lunch. A student photo will be taken during the day for use on their business cards.
