Purchase of travel, medical and accident insurance is a requirement for all students participating in the Rotary Youth Exchange programs.
Rotary International has its own set of minimum standards for coverage, but each country and District may require coverage in excess if those required by Rotary International. The coverage required by District 5040 exceeds those required by Rotary International and our limits have been set after exhaustive study and many years of experience.
