If you’ve dreamed of traveling the world, here is your chance!
Applications are being accepted for the Sister Cities of Franklin and Williamson County Youth Exchange Program with Carleton Place, Ontario Canada.
The exchange is scheduled for May 28 until June 4 and is open to sophomores and juniors attending high school in Williamson County.
Interested students may receive an application by contacting Mike Thompson at 615-790-6349 or [email protected] or by going to the Sister Cities website—www.sistercities.tn.org
Four students will be chosen based on essay questions, community involvement and personal interview.
Students will be accompanied by chaperones throughout the trip and will stay with host families that have been approved by Carleton Place’s Sister City Board.
Student activities and a tour of Carleton Place and surrounding areas are also included in the festivities of this one-in-a-life-time opportunity.
Then, students and their families will then host the students from Carleton Place in Franklin in August.
Costs include a $600 fee (to help defray transportation expenses), and students will need a valid passport to travel to Canada.
Applications are due 15 March. They can be returned to Sister Cities (P O Box 977, Franklin, TN 37065) or by e-mail to [email protected].
