Abstract	A 2-year exchange program between Purdue University's extension Department of 4-H and Youth and Togo's University du Benin, funded by the United States Information Agency, is described. In the program, eight Togolese fifth-year agricultural students spent 6 weeks in Indiana with farm families, and eight Indiana 4-H members--including three inner-city youth--spent 6 weeks in Togo studying the United States' role in international development. In each case, the youth studied the counterpart country's agricultural practices and projects. In Togo, the American participants were briefly paired with Peace Corps volunteers. The report describes the program for both groups of youth, including eligibility requirements, orientation, activities, and debriefing, and evaluates the program's success. Recommendations are made for similar youth exchange programs to be undertaken in the future. An application form is appended. (MSE)
