Testimonial:
Teri Seeberger traveled to France in 1997 and to Denmark in 1999 through the MD19 Youth Exchange Program. Here is what she said:

"My experiences this past summer created memories that will last a lifetime. I love to travel and visit new places! I have utilized the Lion's youth exchange program twice and I am so grateful to all of the men and women who have made it possible. Living with foreign families and being forced to open myself to the rest of the world has made me a better person, and I hope I can share that with everyone I meet."

Lions Youth Exchange is a great way to get out and explore our large world.  Youth can travel to other countries and experience the different cultures as they are hosted with families.  If the exchange involves a youth camp the youth will be spending one week of their exchange with a group of people from all over the work.  These are great ways to get to know people and youth form other counties. 
One of the bigest awakenings for many youth is that they the people of the world are generally all the same.  We just live in different areas of the world with some different customs.
Our most frequent exchanges are with Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Finland, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Norway, Denmark, Italy and France. In July and August, our youths are traveling and we receive youths from European countries and Japan. You will usually be gone for 4 to 6 weeks in the summer. Departure may be earlier, such as the end of June, for European visits. Youths going to Japan, Australia and New Zealand usually leave around the first weekend of July and return before the end of August.
