IFYE Exchanges are Back!
After a year of assessment and planning, IFYE USA, Kansas 4-H’s partner for exchanges of young adults over 18, is back offering exchanges in a limited way in fall 2025. The exchanges will include both outbound and inbound exchanges with partners in Chile, Germany, Slovenia, and Taiwan. As of this writing, Switzerland is pending as a potential exchange partner.
These exchanges will be from September to December. Kansas will be seeking multiple hosts for each inbound we host. We anticipate most of these inbounds will seek farm experiences in Kansas. Outbound programs from the USA will place IFYE delegates in all of the participating countries, Please inform 4-H alumni of this opportunity. They can go to www.IFYEUSA.org for applications and information. In Kansas, individuals may contact Mary Kay Munson at 785-375-3189 or mkm2@ksu.edu for information and updates. Kansas IFYE Association has scholarships available for outbound delegates from our state. We anticipate application deadlines this spring for the 2025 exchanges.
