Host a Foreign Exchange Student

Why Should You Host?

Hosting a student from a foreign country will enrich your life! Every year hundreds of American families choose to host a teenager from a foreign country. Why do they do it?

  • To build memories and friendships that will last a lifetime
  • To bring the world into their home and to enrich the lives of family members
  • To share the culture of America with a student from another country
  • To make a difference in the world by showing your student how we live and our customs and values
  • To learn about another culture from your new 'son' or 'daughter'

We get out in the community with the students a lot and we are more involved and active - most people are very interested in the students, their countries, what we are doing and why!
