SUMMARY:2025 Ushiku Exchange Program - Host Family Information Session
DESCRIPTION:The Sister City Exchange Program between Whitehorse and Ushiku\, Japan\, launched in the 1980s\, fosters mutual cultural understanding and strengthens leadership skills among youth. \nEvery other year\, Whitehorse host families invite an Ushiku exchange student into their home\, sharing Canadian and Yukon culture. Host families provide meals\, accommodation\, and outings\, while the City of Whitehorse organizes weekday activities. \nThe following year\, a group of Youth Ambassadors from Whitehorse visits Ushiku\, where they immerse themselves in Japanese culture through activities like living with a host family\, visiting a high school\, and engaging in traditional and modern experiences. \nThis exchange cycle reinforces cross-cultural bonds and lasting friendships. \nBe part of our 2025 program as a host family from July 24 to August 3 when Whitehorse will host students from Ushiku. \nAttend one of our information sessions February 13\, April 3 and May 14 from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Canada Games Centre \nLearn more and apply at whitehorse.ca/japan
