Host families needed for exchange students

Posted

The U.S. is expected to welcome hundreds of thousands of exchange students for the 2018-2019 academic year. 

Many iE exchange students desire to experience America through American families. Some have never experienced snow before, some have never had the opportunity to play a school sport, some have never been involved with a school music program. Exchange students experience many “firsts” with their American family, and enjoy learning and celebrating American culture and traditions.  

International Experience – USA (iE-USA), a high school student exchange organization, is founded on the belief of learning from each other, sharing what we hold sacred to us and growing from the experiences and relationships that arise to create a world where cultural diversity is valued and celebrated. When we invite exchange students into our communities – to share in our schools, play on our teams, and sit at our tables – we invite a new perspective!
