Exchange Programs

Spending time in a foreign country, or hosting a student from a foreign country is the best way to learn about another culture.

Exchange Opportunities for 2008-2008
Plan Ahead - Hosting and travel opportunities for Georgia 4-H'ers required advanced planning. Interested familes are advised to contact Jeff Buckley at the State 4-H Office by September of 2008 if they are interested in hosting a student for the summer of 2009.

There is no better way to learn about another culture than by spending time in another country or hosting an exchange student.

Rotary International can pair you with a family in a variety of countries.

Spend four to six weeks hosting and visiting a student of the same age and gender for around $300 and the price of an airline ticket.
