Lions Clubs International Youth Camp and Exchange Program (YCE)

The Lions Clubs International Youth Camp and Exchange Program (YCE) is a global cultural exchange initiative for young people. Exchanges involve youth staying abroad with host families for a period of typically 2 to 6 weeks, with costs covered for room and board by the host Lions club, and participants often responsible for airfare and personal expenses. The program aims to foster cultural understanding, leadership, and personal growth through hosted stays and community activities.

Stay with a host family, engage in cultural activities, participate in service projects, and develop leadership and personal growth skills.

Young people between 16 and 22 years of age; must be sponsored by a Lions club; represent their country and sponsoring club; provide proof of insurance; be willing to learn the host country's language.

Identify your sponsoring Lions club, contact the corresponding YCE chairpersons in your interested countries, and follow the local application requirements.
