NC 4-H International Exchange

Randolph County 4-H members, would you like to host a Japanese Exchange Student for one month this summer? Now is the time to begin thinking about it.

We have 10 boys, 10 girls and 3 adult chaperones that need homes.

Host families must have a child of the same gender and within 2 years of the same age as the Japanese exchange student. Families without children who would like to host may host a chaperone. Host families provide all meals, supervision, transportation to/from the pick-up point, a bed (students do not need to have their own room), and love and support. Families must fill out an application, undergo an in-home interviewand background check, and if selected, attend required orientation trainings. Applications to host a Japanese student are due by April 30, 2010.


Here is the application form for you to fill out to host an exchange student this summer!

Here is the reference form needed.

Here is the disclosure form needed.
