Apply now for Alaska 4-H Club summer exchange program to Japan

Alaska youths ages 13 to 18 have until Dec. 1 to apply to participate an Alaska 4-H Club summer exchange program to Japan July 11 to Aug. 9, 2014. Participants are hosted by a Japanese youth of the same gender and similar age and share in their daily activities.

Participants do not need to speak Japanese. Outbound exchange coordinator Jill Holmgren said they just need a curiosity about other cultures and an interest and willingness to try new things and make new friends. Youth not currently in 4-H also may apply.

The exchange between 4-H and Japan has been ongoing for more than 40 years.
