Montgomery County Senior Exchange Club

An interstate exchange program is an exciting opportunity for youth and adults to experience the geography, culture and heritage of a local community of 4-H youth and leaders with a common 4-H identity yet potentially different perspective. The goal of the Montgomery County 4-H Exchange Program is to: "educate youth and adults for living in a global and ever-changing world." What better opportunity for learning than through an interstate exchange? Montgomery County 4-H interstate Exchanges are also a part of the citizenship project and an application of the 4-H pledge "for my club, my community, my country and my world."

The interstate exchange project is designed to help youth:

• Learn more about the history of the state and the county in which they visit.
• Learn more about themselves and their own family, friends, county, and state.
• Learn to help plan and conduct fundraising projects to pay expenses for the trip and for hosting a visitor.
• Learn to be a good host or hostess.
• Learn how to travel, not as a casual passenger, but as an interested, fact-finding individual by increasing their perception of their surroundings.
• Develop as individuals by learning to think on their feet and to live, work, and play with people who may have practices, beliefs, and customs different from their own.
• Create new and lasting friendships.
• Learn more about 4-H in other states.
• Have fun as a member of a 4-H exchange.
