States’ 4-H partners with Taiwan 4-H to offer Taiwanese youth the chance to stay with an American host family for one month. Participants in this program are both boys and girls between the ages of 12 and 18.
Taiwan is a small island nation located in the Pacific Ocean just off the coast of mainland China. With its thriving metropolises and rich history, Taiwan is a fascinating blend of traditional and modern culture. Despite its small size, a population of 23 million people makes Taiwan more populous than 3/4 of the world's countries. As a host family, you will be hosting a Taiwanese delegate and have an opportunity to immerse yourself in Taiwanese culture.

In-Country Partner: Taiwan 4-H
