Your District Level Interviews will be taking place December 7th, 2024 at Christ Church Community School - 921 Vancouver Street, Victoria BC V7V 3V7 .  This is a short 15 minute walk from the Coho Ferry Terminal in Victoria. 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 the Friday night before. Then the actual interviews will be on Saturday. The Outbound Candidates and their parents/guardians will be interviewed by a panel of Rotarians and 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 Parent 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.  

 

9:30am -3pm “Here we go Orientation” .  This session is for students, at least one parent and country officers.   We will be covering what will be happening in the next 60 days, answering questions and making sure that both you and your family are totally good on the information you received.  Additionally we will also start getting to know students and their families through a series of activities and group sessions.  This is a brand new day for us this year and the exact agenda will be available closer to the event.

If you wish to stay over in Victoria, please make arrangements at any number of the hotels available in Victoria.
