Visit another state to experience the lives of other 4-H members or host a 4-H'er in your own home. Through interstate exchanges, youth learn about communities and cultures different from their own and develop an appreciation for diversity.

As part of interstate exchanges, Michigan 4-H’ers may visit another state to experience the lives of other 4-H members and learn about communities and cultures different from their own. They may also host 4-H’ers from another state who are seeking similar experiences. Through such exchanges, youth participants learn to appreciate diversity while they meet new people and explore the United States.

**Interstate Team is working on updating our Guidebook for clubs, leaders, and staff planning an exchange.  Please check back here for a link to this document.  Estimated completion November 2021.
