Outbound Exchanges Resume in 2022
Both IFYE and States’ 4-H are planning a return to usual travel programs for next summer. IFYE is still completing agreements with hosting countries at this writing. Check out current information at www.IFYEUSA.org. Most of the countries that hosted U.S delegates recently are back. Applications for these delegates through IFYE, USA are not specific to a country preference and can be completed now.
The States’ 4-H Application link and program brochures will be available by early September on the Kansas 4-H website through the World Citizenship Outbound Page. Countries hosting U.S. delegates include Argentine, Costa Rica, Japan, Norway, Romania, South Korea, and Taiwan. Except for the three Asian Countries, applicants must be 15-18 yr. of age by the time they travel. Japan, South Korea and Taiwan accept youth 12-18. Applications for Kansas outbound programs are due to State Coordinator Mary Kay Munson at mkm2@ksu.edu or 785-375-3189 by November 1.
