Montana 4-H International Program for Young Adults (IPYA) is a three to a six-month international exchange program to countries around the world for those interested in a rural, work experience. Upon their return to the U.S. delegates are required to update country guides and to report on their experiences to schools across Montana.
Chaperones accompany a group of national delegates to a specified country for one month every summer. Chaperone applications are reviewed by States' 4-H International Education Programs (S4-HIEP) and decisions are made by early March. Chaperones provide conference call orientations, assist with national and in-country orientations, participate in all exchange program activities such as 4-H camps or other field trips, and are available, by phone, to assist host families throughout the exchange. Chaperones also stay with host families for the duration of the exchange.
