Date Posted: 08:14:56 01/18/07 Thu The Clatsop County 4-H Exchange Program is currently looking for host families for its Japanese Exchange Program. The exchange students are in Clatsop County July 26th - August 22nd. Exchange Students are between the ages of 12 - 18, their English skills varies with each student. We match the age and interests of an exchange student with one of the children in a host family, i.e., baseball player to a host sibling who is a baseball player, 12 year old boy with 12 year old boy. Families do not need to have an extra bedroom, it is preferred that they room with their host sibling. Families complete an application process and home interview with county coordinator, attend an orientation and are provided support materials. Japanese Chaperones are available during the home stay period as well as local and state program staff. The exchange students come to America to experience American family life and to try to improve their English skills, they are not here as tourists. The come with their own spending money. Host families provide room and board and general family items such as dinner at a restaurant. Exchange students have full medical coverage. If your child attends a camp or similar program during the home stay period, the program will pay for the exchange student to also attend. Placements are being made now. All placements must be made no later than May 1, 2007, for the upcoming summer. Host families can begin corresponding as soon as placement is confirmed. Call Melissa Padgett at 325-9011 evenings or email me at wpadgett@pacifier.com or call the Extension Office at 325-8573 for more information or for an application. There are also outbound programs available in November of 2007 to Finland, Australia, Japan, Mexico and Puerto Rico for the summer of 2008.
