Passionate about Volunteering?

Bring a world of culture to your family

and watch a common interest become a shared bond.

Hosting an exchange student is a volunteer opportunity to impact a teen's life and to be the change you want to see in the world.  Imagine the fun of hosting an international teen who loves the same things you do!  We'll help you find the right exchange student for your family to have a fun and enriching experience. 

Here's how hosting works:

• The exchange student lives as a member of your family (not a guest or boarder), participates in family life, and attends the local high school
• Students come with medical insurance and spending money to cover personal expenses like school fees, phone, clothing, etc.
• Host families provide room & board and loving parental guidance (and are eligible for a tax deduction)
• A Local Coordinator will provide support and assistance to you and your student throughout the hosting experience
• YOU select the student you want to host.  We will gladly help you find a student, or you can visit Meet Our Students to browse or search for students by country, age, gender, religion, or interests.
