Hosting Inbound
Michigan 4-H families have opportunities to host students from Japan.
By hosting a student from another country for the one-month summer program, our youth and families gain so much. We gain the ability to stand back from our own point and become aware of not only our own cultural values, beliefs, and perceptions, but also those of other cultures. Encourage your child today to grow globally, culturally, or intellectually.
Host Family Questions
Host families are required to provide 3 meals a day and a bed (delegates can share a room with same gender siblings). All delegates provide their own spending money for other expenses. Delegates are treated as family members not guests, so they are expected to contribute to family chores like their host brothers and sisters.
Students come with their own medical insurance. The host family handbook will explain coverage.
Host families come in many forms. MSU Extension exchange programs are open to all without regard to race, color, national origin, gender, gender identity, religion, age, height, weight, disability, political beliefs, sexual orientation, marital status, family status or veteran status.
Please note: Host families selection is dependent on completion of an application screening process as well as student availability and personality compatibility.
