Development of the New Generations Service Programs

According to a RI Board Decision in 2012 NGSE replaced in 2013 the earlier NGE. It ranks equally with Youth Exchange , RYLA and Rotaract/ Interact.

This program does not need to fulfil the RI Youth Exchange Certification Requirements and opens new and more possibilities for Districts.

Results / Impact

Immersion in another country’s cultural, educational and working environment enhances young adult’s academic, vocational and personal growth. Host clubs and families and the entire community are enriched by extended, friendly contact with someone from a different culture.

Exposure to different cultures ranks as one of the most powerful ways to promote international understanding and peace.
