Host Families Needed for 4-H International Exchange Students -- Cherokee County, NC
We also have the 4-H Future Leaders Exchange High School Program. The FLEX students come from 12 different countries that once formed the Soviet Union. These exchange students are unique because they have won scholarships funded through the U. S. State Department to study in a U. S. high school and live with a host family for one year. There are two female students in this category who need a welcoming family to serve as hosts for one year. Here's a little about each of them:
All students will arrive at the end of July or the first week of August. Students must attend a public high school. They do not need to have a separate bedroom, but do need to have a separate bed and place to store their belongings. Host families are responsible for meals, transportation, and supervision. The students have health coverage and money to cover costs of clothing, school and personal items. Families interested in becoming a host family must complete an application, provide three references, and participate in orientations. Host families are assisted throughout the year by Carolyn Langley, Rudolph County extension director who serves as the state 4-H exchange coordinator, and by Stuart Bullock, who serves as assistant state 4-H exchange coordinator. If you would like more information about these programs, email Carolyn_Langley@ncsu.edu or Stuart_Bullock@ncsu.edu or call them at 336-318-6000 for details.
