Volunteer Opportunity Details:

EF Foundation for Foreign Study is looking for local representatives to coordinate their high school exchange program in your community. As an International Exchange Coordinator (IEC) with EF Foundation, you will become directly involved in international student exchange and become your community's primary contact with EF Foundation.

Your responsibilities would include interviewing and selecting host families, working with local high schools, and becoming a friend and mentor to exchange students (who will spend up to 10 months in your area). EF Foundation provides training at both the local and regional levels. On-going support is provided throughout the year, as well as 24-hour emergency support.

As an IEC, you will share in your student's daily discovery of America and over the course of the year you will be exposed to many new ideas and customs. In fact, you can learn as much about your student's culture as they can about yours! Through our various incentive plans, you may also have the opportunity to travel abroad and to attend regional and international conferences on cultural exchange. This is an unpaid position; however expenses will be reimbursed by EF.

International Exchange Coordinators must be at least 25 years of age and must live in the continental United States
