The 4-H Rural Exchange is now taking registrations! This 4-H program designed to help Oregon 7-8 grade students gain an understanding of natural resource management issues from both an urban and rural Oregon perspective. The exchange is also designed to help students develop a camaraderie and spirit of friendship between families from rural and urban Oregon. The program includes a 6-day exchange with a 4-H rural host family - a unique opportunity to “walk a mile in the boots” of those across the urban-rural divide and through the process gain a deeper understanding of the environmental, social and economic issues from both an urban and rural perspective.
