The WACA Youth Program is designed for the children of all WACA members, to learn more about the world and it's people by visiting WACA families in various parts of the world.
During the stay they will be taken into the home as "one of the family", not as a tourist, and therefore become more familiar with the true way of life in the country they visit.
A chance they would rarely get otherwise.
