Become a 4-H Host Family for an International Youth Delegate in 2023!

NC 4-H offers you a rare and unique opportunity to invite a young person from another country into your home for about 4 weeks to share culture, gain communication skills, and build friendships. In 2023, you could host a delegate from Norway, Costa Rica, or Japan! This info session at 6:30 p.m. on December 8 will cover all of the details regarding dates, requirements, the screening process, and expectations for host families.

NC families in 2022 said "It was great! We had such a great time and [our delegate] feels like part of our family," and "Do it! It helps connect your family to another—hope we can do it again."
