2008 Youth Exchange Announced!
The dates are set and applications are welcome from all Tri-County students (15 to 19 years old) to travel with us to Germany from July 10 through July 31 2008. See our flyer for details. Submit your application and deposit right away! For more information, contact our youth exchange chaperones.
The first youth exchange between Peoria and Friedrichshafen took place in 1978. Ours is the longest continuous running youth exchange between sister cities anywhere in the United States!
Each year, approximately 20 teenagers (14 to 19 years of age) from one city visit the other for three weeks in the summer. The following year, the roles are reversed.
The guests participate in the daily life of their host families and join in local events in the community. Group events bring everyone together and create long-lasting friendships among all participants!
This program is a chance to visit a foreign country, not as a tourist, but as a member of a family and community. The exchanges are personal, and the experiences create life-enriching relationships.
To be considered for an exchange, fill out an application today and send it with your deposit (travel years only) to:
FOF Youth Exchange
243 S. Ohio Avenue,
Morton IL 61550.
You can also contact us via e-mail at: youthexchange@peoriasistercity.org.
