The Group Study Exchange (GSE) program of The Rotary Foundation ran from 1961 until June 2013 when GSE teams were replaced by Vocational Training Teams (VTT).
GSE was a unique cultural and vocational exchange opportunity for young business and professional men and women between the ages of 25 and 40 and in the early years of their professional lives.
Below are details of some of the GSE teams coming into, or sent from District 9520 over the years.
