STEP stands for “Short-Term Exchange Program”
Rotary offers these STEP programs to young leaders all over the world to promote multicultural understanding, good will and peace.
There are two types of STEP programs: Family to Family (F2F) and Multicultural Camps
F2F are 1-1 summer exchanges between a US high school student and overseas student; Our US student’s family hosts their exchange student in their US home with their own high schooler, typically for one month, and vice versa; the international host family hosts your high schooler in their home abroad with their own high schooler, for about a month.
Multicultural camps are us sending vetted and approved high school students to any of 68+ Rotary camps around the world where students learn about that country's culture. Only 1 student per country is accepted to each camp, meaning our US student is meeting 10-20 students their age from other countries participating in the host country's multicultural camp.
We're NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS for camps (max of 6) and family-to-family exchanges (unlimited) October 1 thru December 31st for summer 2027. Please see the attached flyer and host family FAQ documents for more information, or click here:
