August 2014 – Youth Exchange Program
The Rotary Youth Exchange Program exists within one of the most important avenues of service, that supporting new generations. Students between 17 and 19 years of age who take part in it have the opportunity to meet new friends and form international friendships, and to be ambassadors of Rotary and of their own country.
There are different types of exchanges, among which long and short term ones. The former allow to stay a few weeks abroad during summer, while the latter usually last one year, during which students attend school and live with families in the host country. To gain a greater understanding of the culture, students live with at least two host families during their stay.
This year Rotary Club Albenga takes part in the program by sending abroad two female students, selected among those attending the Liceo "Giordano Bruno", whose families in turn will host two exchange students from the United States, between August 2014 and July 2015.

October 2013 – Andrological Screening for Students Project
Rotary Clubs Alassio, Albenga, Imperia, Sanremo, Sanremo Hanbury, Savona, Varazze Riviera del Beigua
The P.A.S.S. Project continues and expands, with the help of all the Ponente Ligure Rotary Clubs, in co-operation with the provincial education authority.
The Rotary Club Albenga effort now includes the Finale Ligure and Loano high school institutes.
Andrological prevention has long been lacking in Italy, particularly since the elimination of mandatory physical examinations associated with military service which in the past represented the only form of large scale screening and prevention.
The Rotary project of andrological prevention is aimed at filling this void by reaching students in the last year of high school across a large number of schools in the area.
The project consists in providing information sessions within the schools following which students who are interested can choose to receive free medical screening from competent specialists who have offered their services to this project.
