4-H International

Learning about other countries and cultures is an opportunity available to New Mexico 4-H members, ages 16-19. What happens in other countries and on other continents affects each of us in some way. Sharing customs and cultures with each other is fostered by living with a host family (see countries available below) for one month during the summer. This will assist young people in developing a global perspective to better understand their own position in the world. 4-H International exchanges provide hands-on learning activities that develop awareness of the world and its peoples.

The 2 completed Reference Forms are to be sent DIRECTLY to Linda Schultz at the State 4-H Office. One must be from a 4-H staff member and one from a school representative.

Application due date in State 4-H office: January 6, 2012.
