Open Your Home. Broaden Your World.
Are you interested in other cultures and ready to make a difference in a young person’s life? Hosting an international student through States’ 4-H is a rewarding way to promote global understanding and youth development.
Our host families reflect the diversity of the U.S. and share a common goal: to welcome a young person from another country into their home and community. Whether for a month or a full academic year, hosting helps youth build cultural awareness, communication skills, and lifelong connections, while your family gains a new perspective and lasting memories.
