We have received the list of inbound delegates from Japan for this summer's exchange. Youth are ages 12-14, so host families must have at least one child of the same gender as the delegate and within two years of age of the delegate. Think of this as a great way to enrich the cultural experience of your own family and make a lifelong friend!
Host families are not expected to be tour guides and entertainers for these delegates, but rather assimilate them into your family and have them do what you do. When you do chores, they help, too. When you go to the pool, the grocery store, or the county fair, they do, too.
Several local families have hosted before and have had pleasant experiences. Please contact the Extension office for a list of inbound delegates. You can see ages, interests, desires while in the U.S., allergies, etc., and that may help you choose a delegate for this once-in-a-lifetime experience for your family.
