It’s that time of year!  We are participating in many festivals and events in May, June, and August, with a booth to promote 4-H clubs and programs!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Host a 4-H Teen from Japan!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Could your family host a 4-Her from Japan for three and a half weeks this summer?  The experience is enriching for all parties involved!  No special touristy plans needed!  They just want to see what normal life is like in an American family, and to practice their English!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Host families do not need to be in 4-H, but they must have a youth of the same gender who is within 4 years of age of the visiting delegate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hosts are also needed for the academic year program (August – June).  Host youth requirements do not apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
