Our Summer Inbound programs bring youth to the U.S. each summer to stay with a host family for 4 weeks. Based on a complete cultural immersion model, youth are matched with a volunteer American family who wants to share their life with an international visitor!
Annual Program Details:
- Interested host families & host siblings must commit to a 4-week homestay for a Japanese youth (12-18 yrs.). The host period will take place over every summer (July - August). *Note: Host families/siblings are not required to be 4-H members.
- Families must have a child of the same gender and within 4 yrs. of the hosted youth. Families without children may host an adult chaperone for a 2-week or 4-week homestay.
- Youth have a range of English language abilities, so host families should be prepared to communicate imaginatively.
- Interested families may apply here: https://states4h.org/host-a-student/summer/
- A Criminal Background Check is required for every adult living in the host family household. Additionally and in-person home visit & consultation is required for any family wishing to host.
