Hosting the world is as easy as welcoming a foreign teenager into your home. EF High School Exchange Year is a non-profit organization dedicated to cultural understanding through international exchange. Each year, thousands of EF High School Exchange Year students spend an academic year or a semester in the United States. By welcoming one of these English-speaking students into your family, you would create a friendship that crosses all cultural borders.
EF High School Exchange Year students come from 25 countries around the world, are between 15 and 18 years old, and bring their own spending money and insurance. The students are carefully screened by the EF High School Exchange Year offices in their home countries. Host families provide room, board, and -- most importantly -- a caring and supportive environment. You would have the opportunity to select a student whose interests and activities complement your own. Hosting is an educational and cultural experience full of memories to last a lifetime.
Call today to learn more about how your family can make a difference for one student. The EF High School Exchange Year website is www.efexchangeyear.org
The world is literally at your doorstep. High school students from over 30 countries are eagerly awaiting the opportunity to see America through the eyes of its own people. All you have to do as a Host Family is open the door... The world can fit through your doorway. Opening your home and SHARE!ing your family life with a high school student will not only energize everyone in your family but create a positive and meaningful experience that will endure long after your student has departed. Host families or single adults with or without children, provide a bed, meals, and TLC. Students speak English, have spending money, and medical insurance.
