Overview
States’ 4-H partners with Taiwan 4-H to offer Taiwanese youth the chance to stay with an American host family for one month.

Taiwan is a small island nation located in the Pacific Ocean just off the coast of mainland China. With its thriving metropolises and rich history, Taiwan is a fascinating blend of traditional and modern culture. Despite its small size, a population of 23 million people makes Taiwan more populous than 3/4 of the world’s countries.
