Welcome
ROTARY FRIENDSHIP EXCHANGE (RFE) is an opportunity to participate in a cultural exchange in another Partner District selected by the D5580 Friendship Exchange Committee. The exchange can be in another country or within the US.
On the left side of this page, you will find a BROCHURE prepared by Rotary International that gives a general overview of this program, as well as a document prepared by the D5580 Friendship Exchange Committee that sets forth the CRITERIA for selection of an outbound RFE Team. It is suggested that you review both documents, and specifically the CRITERIA, if you are interested in applying to participate on an outbound Team.
