Youth Exchange Program (YEP)
Youth Exchange has enriched our community and strengthened the leadership skills of International and Australian youth. Many of you in the community have bravely sent your children abroad and/or been host parents to students from across the world. These are the names of young people we have sponsored over the decades...
