The Iowa Lions Youth Exchange program is in jeopardy.
If the program does not have host families, they cannot host their Camp and their students will not be able to come to Iowa. They have 22 Students scheduled to come to Iowa this year, and only 4 of them currently have host families.

Do you know someone willing to host?
The hosts would house students from June 28 - July 20, 2025.
