MSU Extension 4-H International Exchange Programs

Michigan 4-H has hosted Korea 4-H delegates for three year through States’ 4-H International Programs.  Youth are between the ages of 12-18 years old.  We match your child with a Korean delegate within three years of age and same gender.  The delegates may share a room with same gender matched sibling.  Go to www.states4hexchange.org to apply.

HOSTING PERIOD: TBD

• 12-18 years old or adult chaperones
• Youth have limited English language skills, and host families should be prepared to communicate imaginatively

HOST FAMILY REQUIREMENTS

• You must have a child of the same gender and within 3 years of the hosted youth
• Families without children of the appropriate age may host an adult chaperone
• No special activities need to be planned, these youth want to experience American culture, make new friends, and improve their English by staying with your family
• Volunteer to participate in the program
• You don’t need to be involved with 4-H to host
