The
International Service lane advances international understanding, goodwill, and peace -
by getting acquainted with people of other
countries, their culture, customs, accomplishments, aspirations,
their problems - through personal contact in the Rotarian's own
community, by travel, and attendance at conventions, through reading
and correspondence, and through cooperation in all club activities
and projects - including those of the Rotary Foundation - that will
be helpful to people in other lands.
The following subcommittees operate under
this lane of service:
a) World Community Service,
b)
International Youth
Projects,
c) The
Rotary Foundation
d) Youth Exchange
e) Group
Study Exchange.
Youth
Exchange Program
The Rotary Club of Gettysburg has
had a tradition of a very actively-sponsored Youth Exchange Program,
currently chaired by Connie and Ken Farabaugh.
All of these
students receive a tremendous amount of support, including host
families for "inbounds", counseling and guidance from the club
members serving as mentors for "outbounds", and general oversight
and in-depth guidance from Connie and Ken.
The youth exchange
program has broadened the outlook of many individuals and helped to
further the goals of Rotary International.
