About States 4-H International Exchange Programs
In the fall of 1971, 4-H State Leaders Dwight Palmer (WA) and Maurice Johnson (ID) were approached with an opportunity to implement a youth exchange program between 4-H youth and young people from Japan. That year, 179 delegates from the Labo Foundation in Japan came to stay with volunteer host families in Washington and Idaho.
States 4-H International Exchange Programs is a non-profit organization headquartered in Bellevue, WA. We work with 4-H Youth Development Centers of Cooperative Extension in the US and a network of international partners around the world to conduct cultural immersion and exchange programs. Since 1972, our exchanges have impacted over 64,000 youth and their families in 43 countries on 6 continents!
As one of the pioneers of international youth exchange, we continue to empower today s youth to be future global leaders equipped with respect, mutual understanding and the global perspectives and cross-cultural competencies needed to address global issues. As the world has become smaller and once vast distances are now easily bridged by technology, the States 4-H mission is more relevant than ever: Enhancing world understanding and global citizenship through high-quality 4-H international cultural immersion and exchange programs for 4-H aged youth.
States 4-H is governed by a Board of Directors composed of 4-H Extension professionals across the US. The 4-H National Headquarters at NIFA has authorized States 4-H to use the 4-H name and emblem. States 4-H is granted full listing by the Council for Standards on International Educational Travel (CSIET) and is designated by the US Department of State as a sponsor of J-1 Secondary Student exchange programs.
We Value:
- Global connections
- Respect for others
- Diversity
- Learning by doing
- Engaged citizenship
