HOST FAMILY/FAMILIES NEEDED FOR EXCHANGE STUDENTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
________________________________________
The Council on International Educational Exchange is looking for host families to open their hearts and homes to welcome an international exchange student into their community for an academic school year or one semester. Our students hail from all over the globe and are eager to learn about the United States and become a member of an American family, community, and school.
The program provides an opportunity for host families to form lifelong relationships and unforgettable memories. Over 1300 CIEE high-school students arrive in the United States each year. Students live with host families, attend high school, and become true members of their new families and communities. Hosting a CIEE student is the perfect opportunity for communities to meet an "ambassador" of an overseas country and to develop skills as an ambassador of the USA.
Students participating in the exchange are between 15-18 years old, have studied English for a minimum of three years, have their own medical insurance and spending money, and have undergone a thorough personal screening and interview process. Many of these students arrive in the United States with dreams of participating in clubs, sports, arts, music, volunteer work, and other activities (most foreign schools have none). They return to their native land with improved English skills, a sense of independence and self-confidence, more maturity, and a better global understanding. Most importantly, they will have made American relationships that will last forever.
You do not need to have high-school age children in order to participate, and all types of families (even singles) are welcome. To participate in or to request more information on this rewarding intercultural experience, please contact Christie at 832-298-7055 or send an e-mail via Craigslist.
