Youth Exchange Team Training
Bring the Team!
Is your club interested in learning more about this program? Do you know the difference between the long-term and short-term programs? What best practice can your club share with others or learn from others? Learn how the lives of the students, the club members and the community are changed by being involved.
We offer several training opportunities throughout the year. Click Here to view the Youth Exchange Team training session presented at the District Training via Zoom in 2020.
Next; join us for either the two online trainings or one of two in person trainings (Due to the Covid-19 Virus, the in person trainings are cancelled until further notice)– held annually in both British Columbia and Washington. We encourage clubs to register a team including the President or President-elect. Registration link is at the bottom of the page along with the training content.
