NC 4-H International Exchange Programs

Our first group of Inbound delegates for summer 2026 arrived a few days ago in NC!

We are so excited to welcome them, and they happen to be our very first group of delegates from Taiwan 4-H! We hope they had a great weekend celebrating the 4th of July with their host families.

Enjoy this wonderful (but very hot!) summer!

We are very happy to announce that the 5 delegates and one chaperone from NC have safely landed in Japan for the 8-week Japan 4-H Outbound Exchange Program! These young people have worked very hard preparing to share their culture and be great ambassadors for their country and state as they attend Japanese language and culture classes in Tokyo, and each live with two different host families!

We hope you have the experience of a lifetime, Ada, Alex, Alyssa, Matt, Peyton, and chaperone LaCodia!
