Expand your Horizons: Host a

4-H Exchange Student!

Is your family looking for something fun to do this summer?

Why not host a student from Japan, Korea, Finland, Costa

Rica or Mexico! Wisconsin 4-H is offering the experience of a

lifetime for 75 families to host youth and adults from around

the world. These young people are anxiously waiting to get to

know their new host family and share their culture. Special

trips and tourism is not required! The focus of the exchange is

for the youth to experience everyday American life. Youth

ages 12-18 will be placed in homes with children of similar

age and same gender. For more information visit https://

www.states4hexchange.org/. The world is waiting for YOU!

4-H Alumni — Raise Your Hand Calling all 4-H alums! You can do a world of good for Wisconsin 4-H’ers in just a few clicks. Show your 4-H pride by adding your name at http://4-h.org/raise-your-hand/. By doing this, you “raise your hand” as someone who’s experienced the benefits of 4-H. The more hands raised, the better the chance Wisconsin 4-H has to win up to $20,000 for its programs statewide. Pay it forward by sharing your #4HGrown experience on social media. Tag fellow alums and ask them to raise their hands for Wisconsin 4-H!
