Volunteer Opportunity Details:

SHARE! is looking for caring adults or families to host international exchange students for the 2009-2010 school year. Hosting a SHARE! exchange student fosters lifelong friendships and deeper understanding of other cultures.

Host families provide a bed, meals, as well as friendship, understanding, and a desire to share their American way of life. All students speak English, are covered by medical insurance and have spending money for their personal expenses. They attend the high school closest to their host family's home and hope to arrive in August. Families are able to choose their own boy or girl from over 25 countries like Sweden, Germany, France, Italy, China, Thailand, South Korea, Ecuador, Argentina and Brazil.

SHARE! families are diverse! Traditional two-parent families (with or without children), single parents or adults, and retired couples all make wonderful host families.

Start making a difference in a young person's life and yours! Contact SHARE! for more information at 800-941-3738 or www.sharesouthwest.org.

Host families can be two-parents households with young children or teenagers, single parent families, families with adopted children, foster parents, as well as couples or single people who do not have children or who have grown children. Our SHARE! families are diverse!
