In case you are wondering what IAEA is, it is a non-profit organization that was formed in 1963 to operate exchange study programs in agriculture for young men and women from Canada, the United States, Europe, Iceland, Australia and New Zealand - there are 18 member countries in all. Its main objectives are; to provide rural youth with an opportunity to study agricultural methods in other parts of the world; to develop an understanding of life and cultural patterns in other countries; and to strengthen and improve mutual understanding among the countries involved through experience and personal contacts between the exchangee and his or her host family. IAEA has close links with many young farmers' movements around the world. To be eligible to participate in an IAEA exchange program, applicants must be between the ages of 19 and 28, age, and they must have some practical farming experience. They may choose the type of farm training they wish to participate in, and they will be placed with a host family where, in most cases, they will live and work as members of the family. They will receive free room and board and will be paid a training allowance, which will be set by the host family association
