Local families needed for foreign exchange students

The International Student Exchange Programs is seeking local host families for international high school boys and girls. These students are 15-18 years of age, and are coming to this area for the upcoming high school year or semester.

The personable and academically selected exchange students are conversant in English, bright, curious and anxious to learn about this country through living as part of a family, attending high school and sharing their own culture and language with their newly adopted host family.

Each student is fully insured, brings his or her own personal spending money and expects to contribute to his or her share of household responsibilities, as well as being included in normal family activities and lifestyles.

Families can choose their students from a wide variety of backgrounds, nationalities and personal interests.

Those interested in obtaining more information about becoming a host family should call 1-800-733-2773.
