Sakaide Exchange Program. The Sausalito-Sakaide Sister Cities program is now taking applications from Marin high-school students ages 15-17 for its 2024 exchange program in Sakaide, Japan from July 26 to August 7.

Participating families are responsible for airfare and a program fee, with financial aid available to qualifying applicants.
