Kansas 4-H Expects 5 Costa Rican Teens for Summer Exchange
Submitted by Dr. Mary Kay Munson
Five teens representing 4-S in Costa Rica are scheduled to spend a month with Kansas 4-H families on a Summer Inbound Exchange. States’ 4-H International Exchange Programs (States’ 4-H) arranges the exchange with Costa Rica 4-H, June 26-July 21, when Kansas families who have a teen within 3 years of the visiting teen’s age (15-18) and the same gender, are eligible to host. The Costa Rican visitors do what the host siblings and family are doing while they are here. If Kansas is assigned a chaperone with the youth, he or she may be hosted by adults during the exchange for 2-4 weeks each. For more information, go to the Kansas 4-H web site: https://www.kansas4-h.org or contact: Mary Kay Munson, State International Exchange Coordinator for the Costa Rican Exchange at 785-375-3189. Online applications are available now!
