By hosting an exchange student, the world comes to you! Hosting an international student is a wonderful opportunity to share your culture with a student from another country, as well as to experience international culture without leaving home. Your family can explore new customs, food, and perspectives by hosting an exchange student. Because distances between countries and cultures are ever shrinking, it becomes even more important to make international friends, and become participating members of our global village. Hosting an international student basis brings friendship, hospitality and understanding on an international level into your home. In general, host families are voluntary and not compensated for hosting exchange students.



Having a new family member who shares your family's interests is fun! Exchange students are eager to become a true member of their new family, school and community. Each student has a lot to offer. You can introduce your exchange student to your culture by encouraging him or her to take part in school activities such as a sports events, dances, clubs, drama, as well as a county fair or local and regional festivals. Many host families become lifelong friends with their exchange students, and actually end up visiting them in their home countries. Your children also have the opportunity to learn another language or improve upon a language they are already studying!
