A 4-H exchange program in which eight youth from the Dominican Republic came to Indiana and a like number of Purdue University-sponsored 4-H members visited the Dominican Republic is described. The program, sponsored by the U.S. Information Agency, was part of a larger program to strengthen youth leadership resources in both places through a six-week thematic exchange in natural resources and conservation education. The report summarizes the participant recruitment and selection process, host family recruitment and selection, orientation and debriefing activities, thematic activities, follow-up activities, evaluation and debriefing, and program recommendations emerging from this experience. While group activities are emphasized, the report also describes some of the individual participants' activities. The recommendations address problems in the scheduling of host family selection, organization of exchange activities, communication between adult and youth participants, program timing, quality and quantity of cultural orientation, and language proficiency.
