Texas 4-H will again partner with Texas Global Education and
Cultural Exchange to offer families the opportunity to host a Japanese youth
for four weeks this summer. The youth, ages 11-15, are enrolled in either the
LABO or LEX programs in their country.
To host, the family should have a child/youth of the same
gender and similar age. There are not statewide activities, it is a truly
immersive experience. The Host Family provides a bed and three meals a day,
treating the Japanese delegate as ‘one of their own’. There are no expectations
of ‘entertaining’ the delegate, though many families will visit Texas tourist
destinations. Where there are county 4-H programs during the four-week home-stay, we encourage families to involve their Japanese delegate.
The Japanese delegation will arrive at DFW on July 21.
Families will receive their delegate on July 22 and return them on August 17.
This is the only time we are together as a group.
Host Families that live three or more hours from DFW can
have their delegate flown to a closer airport, provided there is service from
Southwest Airlines. The program will coordinate a direct flight from Dallas
Love to the airport of choice. This can be for both July and August, or just
one of the dates.
Applications are due by April 30. For further information, please click here.
