Host families sought for exchange student program
The Western News | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 6 years, 5 months AGO
ASSE International Student Exchange Programs, in cooperation with high schools, is now looking for local families to host students between the ages of 15 to 18 from a variety of countries
Exchange students come from countries such as Japan, Germany, Italy, Thailand and Spain, to name a few.
ASSE students are enthusiastic and are excited to experience American culture while they practice their English. They also share their own culture and language with their host families. Host families welcome these students into their family, not as a guest, but as a family member, giving everyone involved a rich cultural experience.
The exchange students have pocket money for personal expenses and full health, accident and liability insurance. ASSE students are selected based on academics and personality and host families can choose their student from a wide variety of backgrounds, countries and personal interests.
If you are interested in opening your home and sharing your family life with a young person from abroad, please contact us today for more information, call (800) 733-2773, go online at www.ASSEhosts.com or email [email protected]
Founded by the Swedish National Department of Education, ASSE International (formerly American Scandinavian Student Exchange) is a non-profit, tax-exempt, public benefit organization.
