Open your home to a short-term exchange youth and open your lives to the world! Alaskan families with children aged 10 to 16 have an opportunity to experience Japan by hosting a Japanese student July 21 to August 19 through the 4-H Exchange Program.
For more information see HERE or go to the 4-H Exchange Program Page.
 *Applications for hosting a Japanese youth are accepted year-round. Please apply as soon as your family has decided to participate in this rewarding experience, so we can begin the review process and match your family with a Japanese delegate. If all delegates have been placed for the year, you will be contacted to see if you would like your application to be considered for the following summer's exchange program.

Alaska 4-H is Statewide! 
Have you Ever wanted to train a guide dog, make a kuspuk, raise a reindeer or learn Japanese drumming?

…If so, then you have come to the right place! 
These and other opportunities are there for members of Alaska's 4-H programs. Sponsored jointly by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Cooperative Extension Service, Alaska 4-H is the educational youth development program of the University of Alaska Fairbanks.
Led by adult volunteers, with assistance from Extension 4-H Youth Development agents, local 4-H clubs are part of the national 4-H system and can draw upon those resources as well as those offered by the University of Alaska and other public and private sector agencies and businesses. While local 4-H clubs are founded according to national guidelines and united by the 4-H mission, they are led by adult volunteers who develop programs that fit youth interests and needs. Club activities are limited only by imagination. 
 We are everywhere! Find your district HERE!

4-H in the News!
To Make the Best Better!
The 4-H Motto is "To Make the Best Better". 
Alaska 4-H'ers are asking their peers to help them in leading a Revolution of Responsibility - a movement for positive change in their community and in turn every community across the world! 4-H youth are real people, your neighbors, your classmates and your friends with a mission: a revolution for doing the RIGHT thing, making the best better, leaping high over hurdles, making a measurable difference right where they live for the greater of their community, their country and their world. 

That takes uncommon commitment.
