Host families are needed for 3 IFYE (International 4-H Youth Exchange) delegates that will be visiting the US this year! IFYE delegates are normally in their late teens and early 20s who spend extended amounts of time in the US. To give them a variety of experiences, their stay will be split into three time periods and families will host for about a month.
This is a great way for a family to broaden its horizons without leaving home! Host an IFYE, gain a friend and have memories for a lifetime.
