Experience the richness of the world in your own home this summer.
Washington 4-H International Exchange offers families statewide the opportunity to host a youth delegate from Japan or South Korea for a four-week homestay. Youth delegates are ages 12-17 and eager to make new friends, improve their English, share their culture, and experience real American family life in Washington.
Host families need to have a child of the same gender and within 3-4 years of the delegate’s age. We’re currently recruiting host families for boys ranging in age from 13 – 17. Host families provide a bed and meals. No special activities are required and host families do not need to be members of 4-H.
Do you have room in your life this summer for an amazing cultural experience?
