INTERNATIONAL EXCHANGES 2010

Although many of the exchanged have now been taken, there are still many you can choose from.
The possibilities including:

New Zealand
Available Places: 1
Date: The dates of this exchange are still to be confirmed but will commence the beginning of May and end the middle of July.
Duration: up to 2 months

It's a backpacker's style exchange with NZYF members acting as hosts. From our perspective exchangees would be expected to be involved in the hosts farming operations as a guest so interest in farming would be beneficial as almost all of our members are farming based or related to the industry in some way.

While every effort is made to transport exchanges to and from hosts their maybe occasions when this cannot happen and exchangees would need to meet this cost.

The Exchange will end with the NZYF National Conference, exchangees are expected to cover the cost of this and their accommodation, but there will be help with finding the accommodation and the cost of it will be advised of in January so that you are aware of the cost before arriving in NZ, the cost will also be at a reduced member rate.

Exchanges need to arrive in Auckland and a Cocktail Party or similar is held as a meet and greet for the Exchangees. First host family would attend and take exchangees home with them from the meet and greet. Exchangees are responsible for getting themselves to the venue of the meet and greet. But closer to the time they can liaise with NZYF in regards to this.
