Sister Cities still looking for applicants

NEW ULM — The New Ulm Sister Cities Commission is still looking for a qualified applicant to send over to Germany in connection with the Hans Joohs Cultural Exchange program.

The recipient of this award would live up to 12 weeks in or near the City of Ulm, Germany. The New Ulm Sister Cities Commission will provide transportation to and from Germany and a modest stipend. The cooperating Ulm organizations will provide housing and a paid internship in a job setting or settings based on the recipient’s background and interests.

Candidates must be within the age group of 18 to 35 years old and should be from the New Ulm area or have ties to New Ulm.

In the past one of the qualifications was to have fluent German language skills. Because of the lack of applicants with this asset, fluent German language skills are no longer needed. The German organizations ask that the person be interested in German and German culture. They realize that most Germans speak English and/or at least understand it.

To learn more about this program and obtain an application form, please write New Ulm Sister Cities, 100 North Broadway, New Ulm, Minnesota 56073, contact the City Manager’s Office at (507) 3598233 or e-mail lisap@newulmmn.gov. For background on the Hans Joohs Exchange visit www.newulmmn.gov/Government/Boards and Commissions/Sister Cities Commission.

Deadline for applying is Feb. 15, 2019.
