Foreign students desire to become part of
an American family during their study abroad term.
Would your family be willing to volunteer to host a foreign exchange student for a 5 month or 10 month term?
Exchange students from around the world are filling out the necessary paperwork to get their visas, transcripts and health records so they can arrive in the U.S.A. to stay with an American host family. These students are hoping to improve their English language skills while gaining a greater cultural understanding of the American way of life. As our world becomes ever smaller due to globalization, sharing cultures between differing nations benefits all involved.
Any responsible American family is eligible to apply to become a host family for an exchange student.
