Rotary Youth Exchange
Congraulate Mike Irvin in His New District Leadership Role

In case you didn't read it in the March District Newsletter, our own Mike Irvin will join the district leadership team starting next year as District Chair for the Rotary Youth Exchange program. Mike will serve a three-year term beginning July 1, 2024, responsible for promoting, managing, and overseeing both the Inbound exchange program and the Outbound scholarship program for Georgia high school students.

Mike replaces another Dunwoody Rotarian in this role - Michael Parks, who brought this program to our District and our Club in 2016. Since then, the district has awarded more than $1 million dollars’ worth of study abroad scholarships to Georgia high school students, all at no cost to the awarding Rotary clubs. We have arranged more than 85 study abroad scholarship experiences. More than 165 Rotarians in the district have become Rotary Certified Youth Volunteers through the program, and more than 300 non-Rotarian host family members have joined the family of Rotary after hosting one of our Inbound students to Georgia. For more information on the program, visit Rotary6900.org/RYE. Michael himself was a Rotary Youth Exchange student, and we thank him for all he's done to make this a vibrant program in District 6900.
