Hosting: A Family Global Education Experience
Make lifelong friends. Learn about Japanese culture. Become more aware of your own culture as you share it with a young person eager to learn about life in Alaska. Give your family the gift of international friendship and a global perspective when your child, age 10-16, hosts a Japanese youth delegate for four weeks during the summer.
Applications for hosting are accepted all year. All kinds of families are encouraged to participate. Please apply early so you can begin corresponding with your Japanese delegate.
Host families are needed for youth coming to Alaska July 26 to August 22, 2014. A Japanese boy or girl will be matched to each host family based on the host youth's gender, age and interests.
The Japanese delegates arrive eager to share their culture and to experience daily life in Alaska. Host families do not need to be able to speak Japanese. Youth not currently involved in 4-H are welcome to apply. Japanese delegates can share a room with their host child, attend camps and a few days of school and travel within Alaska. They have medical insurance and their own souvenir-shopping money. Local coordinators and a bilingual chaperone are available 24/7. Host families don't need a large home or to plan special activities, just a willingness to share their lives and friendship with a young person from another country.
The visits are only for a few weeks during the summer, but families gain a world of experience and friendships to treasure for a lifetime.
For more information and any questions about filling out the online application, please contact the Alaska 4-H International Exchange Coordinator, 4-H and Youth Development Agent Jason Floyd at jfloyd1@alaska.edu or 907-262-5824.
