Make a new lifelong family member/friend from across the world. Open your heart and your home...share your country!
Each year, the Council on International Educational Exchange brings 1,200 exchange students from 55 countries to the United States. By hosting one of these High School students you can make a difference in their lives by teaching them about American culture; In return they will teach you about theirs. There is no better time than NOW to learn more about our neighbors in the world!
We are currently recruiting host families for the 2008-09 school year. We also have one-semester programs available. Our students range in age from 15-18 years old and are eager to get a taste of the American family and school culture.
Host families are usually retired senior citizens and parents with or without children. You do not need teenagers of your own in order to host. The students are insured and have their own spending money. They love to get involved with the schoool/community and keep busy throughout the school year. There is no need to constantly entertain as these students want to and will quickly blend in as one of your own family members. We also have students that love host familes that are too busy because it gives them the opportunity to experience much more. The general requirements are a quiet area to study in, room and bed (sharing room with same sex, within 4 years of age is ok)
