4-H International Programs
Wisconsin 4-H promotes intercultural awareness and understanding, and challenges youth and families to become better global citizens by providing opportunities to establish close relationships with people from different cultures through international home-stay and hosting experiences.
Month-long travel and hosting opportunities are available through Wisconsin 4-H and our partnering organizations in Japan, Korea, Mexico, Costa Rica, Argentina, Finland, Norway and Australia, as well as opportunities to host year-long high school students from Japan, Korea, or Eurasia. International learning workshops are offered at the at the county, district and state levels, and adult volunteer leadership positions are available as well as youth exchanges.
Youth between the ages of 12 through 18 are invited to consider the opportunity of travel to another country as a representative of our 4-H program. Funding is available to help with expenses through local 4-H and state scholarship applications, though each delegate and their family are responsible for fundraising at least $1,000 of the expense.
4-H International Host Opportunities
Hosts are needed for 4-H Summer and Academic Year international students. Share your American culture and life by providing a welcoming home to a new friend from another country.
