VOLUNTEER HOST FAMILIES with or without children are needed to host international teens from over 30 countries for the 2007/2008 school year. They are in need of caring families to provide a bed, meals, as well as friendship, understanding, and a genuine desire to share the American way of life with a youngster from overseas.
The students speak English, are covered by medical insurance, have spending money for their personal expenses, and hope to arrive in AUGUST for enrollment in their new school. The students are between the ages of 15 and 18, and will attend the high school closest to their host family’s home. Families are able to review student applications and select the student they feel will best match their family.
