I didn\u2019t&nbsp;know it was a thing I could do, until I was at an informational event for 4-H at the WSU campus in Everett.&nbsp;As I was in one of the classes they offered, we finished early,&nbsp;so someone&nbsp;began to talk about an exchange program that I knew nothing about. I got interested in it,&nbsp;so I looked&nbsp;it up and realized that if I did it, it&nbsp;would be one of the best things I&#8217;ve&nbsp;ever done for myself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I went to Japan but there are so many other places you can go like Costa Rica, Norway, Korea, Taiwan, and Argentina. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Find out about the opportunities at the website for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.states4hexchange.org\/\">the exchange program<\/a>.  You can also do yearlong programs with&nbsp;2 different organizations that 4-H partners with in&nbsp;Japan.&nbsp;Also, Japan has an 8-week&nbsp;program and a 4-week&nbsp;program in the summer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During these programs one of the main things that you should come back with is that we are a part&nbsp;of a bigger world, and that there is so much more than just where&nbsp;you are. This is just one part of what it means to be a global citizen and&nbsp;is something that you can&nbsp;learn and understand&nbsp;what is happening around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/extension\/uploads\/sites\/68\/2026\/01\/Kensie-Peretzman-and-Japanese-host-family-media-releases-ok.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"wsu-row wsu-row--single\" >\r\n    \n<div class=\"wsu-column\"  style=\"\">\r\n\t\n<div class=\"wsu-callout  wsu-border--add-top wsu-color-background--gray-5\" >\r\n        \n\n<p class=\" wsu-font-size--medium\">WSU Extension programs, employment, and volunteer service are available to all without discrimination (See WSU Executive Policy #15).
