Becky Jacobson approached me yesterday and asked if we could host the International 4-H Youth Exchange Representative. The young man, Sage, would do a presentation similar to in the past during pirate time in the library to the 7th grade. Are you all agreeable to this next Wednesday? A description is below. He did his exchange in Switzerland/Finland. Description of the program below. Bio/Resume below.
International 4-H Youth Exchange (IFYE Representative) Outbound (Participation 1951 - present) – Colorado sends 2-3 IFYE Representatives each year for a 3-month or 6-month stay in a foreign country (June – September or June – December). Two scholarships are provided by the Colorado 4-H Foundation to qualified delegates. Partial funding provided by the Colorado IFYE Alumni Association supports a third outbound IFYE. Note: Statewide presentations by returning IFYEs to schools, 4-H clubs, service organizations, church groups, etc., account for 6 percent of total 4-H enrollment in Colorado. In some years this percentage may range 12-15 percent of total 4-H enrollment in Colorado.
