NC 4-H International Exchange Program

Host family applications are now being accepted for the NC 4-H International Exchange Program. This year NC will be hosting delegates from Norway, Costa Rica, Argentina and Finland. The commitment is a month long students are required to stay with families that have a host sibling of the same gender, within 2 years of the same age, and have similar interests. The ages of the students coming are 15 to 19 years old.All of these programs require that families be willing to engage the youth in 4-H activities while they are in America. The host family application, references and disclosure forms must be completed by to me by January 28. In addition, all in-home interviews will also be conducted for those wishing to participate in the program.
