Five More Host Families Needed ASAP- Please Share


​
We are starting to get to the end of the application phase and we still have several delegates that need placed. Please spread the word to anyone and everyone. Now is crunch time for placing delegates and we do not have enough host families. Why not cook up some love in your kitchen this summer by opening your home and your heart to a delegate?

We still have 3 boys and 2 girls who need homes. We are running out of time!

Host Family Requirements: Family must have a child of the same gender and within 3 years of the same age as the hosted youth. Family must be able to provide a bed and 3 meals a day for the delegate. You don't need to be involved with 4-H to host! No special activities need to be planned, these youth just want to experience American culture, make new friends, and improve their English.

Who are the Japanese Youth? Scroll below for the list of youth needing host families. Delegates are ages 13-15. 

How to Apply: Visit www.states4hexchange.org/account/register and create a host family application.
