Exchange students enrich the lives of their host families, peers, teachers, and the entire community! Most people walk away with a new member of the family, new traditions and menu ideas, great memories and a vacation invitation from abroad! Our students bring their own spending money and insurance and totally integrate within the family; they are not a guest! You can expect them to do chores like American teenagers and they participate in all of your usual family activities.
Host family responsibilities:
Ensure a safe and nurturing home environment for the student
Provide students with a room (can be shared with a host sibling), his/her own bed, adequate storage, 3 meals per day, and transportation for extracurricular activities
Give love and support to the student
Explore cultural differences and similarities
You do NOT have to have high school kids of your own- all types of families are accepted!!
