International Exchange Program Offers 2018 Opportunities

Oct 05, 2017

An international exchange opportunity for young adults ages 19 and older has openings for its 2018 program. The IFYE Association of the USA, Inc., (formerly known as the International 4-H Youth Exchange), offers six- and three-month intensive cultural experiences for participants. Participants will depart in June and stay with rural host families where they will become part of the family and participate in farming, community and other activities of the region.

Applications are now being accepted. Those selected for the program will experience the cultures of up to two countries in the six-month program. Find out more by visiting www.ifyeusa.org and click on Exchange Program, or contact Alan Lambert, program director at alanelambert@ifyeusa.org.

Celebrating its 70-year anniversary in 2018, the IFYE program enables participants to experience a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to gain an understanding of the culture and lifestyle by living and interacting with multiple host families. IFYE exchanges are conducted in collaboration with Country Coordinators, State IFYE Associations and State Coordinators. The IFYE vision of “Peace through Understanding” continues to touch the lives of people around the world.
