4-H Japanese/Korean Exchange Program

Can't find the time and money to travel? Enjoy the exposure to different cultures which traveling brings? Looking for a low-cost project or experience in which the whole family can participate and grow together? 4-H allows families to gain the benefits of international travel right here at home by hosting an exchange student from Japan. Families often find they are driven closer together and see their lives in a whole new perspective as they welcome a new son, daughter, brother, or sister into their circle.

Host families are needed to host Japanese and Korean youth for the summer of 2006! Youth ages 11-18 come to the United States from late July to mid-August to experience typical American family life. Families must fill out an application form to be interviewed. They also must attend an orientation session.

For more information on this special opportunity, call the Benton County Coordinator, Christy Warden at (541)847-6030 or Benton County 4-H Outreach Agent Maggie Livesay at (541)766-6750. You can also stop by the Benton County OSU Extension Service located at 1849 NW 9th St., Corvallis, OR 97330.
