Kansas 4-H Tip Sheet

IFYE Outbounds

Submitted by Mary Kay Munson

Kansas is again offering International 4-H Youth Exchanges (IFYE) for 4-H alumni (19-25) through IFYE USA, Inc.  These exchanges promote longer stays in a country with multiple families for all delegates in order to gain in depth experience in one or more cultures.  IFYE prefers their long-time model of 3 or 6 months in the program, but this year IFYE is offering the opportunity for a two-month summer exchange for individuals who find longer stays too difficult to accommodate.  Two-month exchanges may be allowed in 2017 on a case-by-case basis.  The two-month schedule has participants leaving Kansas June 15 (the same time as longer exchanges) and returning August 14. Be sure to go to the IFYE section on the Kansas 4-H web page.   For more information, contact Mary Kay Munson, International Exchange Coordinator at 785-238-3631 or munson@ksbroadband.net.
