Overview
CAEP brings young adults together from all over the world to share and learn ideas, beliefs, and agricultural practices through international paid agriculture exchange programs. Our vision is to interconnect our world peacefully through our paid agriculture exchange programs in order for our participants to identify themselves as world citizens transcending from any geographical, cultural or political borders.
Details
For over of a quarter of a century, CAEP has given young adults an opportunity to experience the world and gain the confidence they need to prepare themselves for their future in agriculture. Through our agriculture exchange programs, rural families and agricultural operations also have a unique chance to be touched by other cultures, resulting in lifelong friendships.
