4-H NEWS RELEASE FOR COUNTY NEWSLETTERS FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE OCTOBER 2009
APPLY FOR SUMMER 2010 4-H OVERSEAS TRIPS NOW
Last summer four Idaho teens traveled to Japan and Finland for summer
homestays with host families in those countries. They made new friends, sampled
new foods, shared America’s language and culture, and helped their parents
handle homesickness (the kind where the parents miss the kid, but the kid is too
busy to even think about missing family).
During
summer 2010 families in Costa Rica, Norway, Australia, and Japan have
volunteered to host American teens for four-week visits, and Idaho teens are
invited to apply now for these cultural exchanges. Since 1972 more than 7,000
American youths and adults have enjoyed homestays with families in other
countries, while U.S. families have hosted more than 40,000 youths in their
homes.
Applications
for outbound travel to these four countries are due January 15, 2010.
Information about the outbound travel program and application forms have been
posted on the International Programs page of the state 4-H website:
www.4h.uidaho.edu.
Idaho teens
ages 14-18 interested in applying to participate in this exchange program should
check the website for more information, or contact Claudine Zender, Idaho 4-H
International Programs Coordinator, by email at
4hinternational@uidaho.edu, by
telephone at 208-885-7700, or through the mail at University of Idaho Extension,
