When you open up your home to an exchange student traveling on scholarship from the US State Department, you're helping make a difference that lasts long past the end of the school year.
“Hosting has not only taught my family to get along with people, but that you do not need to think exactly like everyone with whom you are close. My family has learned about the cultures, the traditions and the struggles of children in other countries. It has taught our community that children from around the world are just like ours. The local high school kids look forward to the next year and what friends they will make from around the world. The exposure is eye opening and fulfilling to see the difference a few months make in the lives of the students that come and the lives they touch.” – Host family in Alabama

Sign up today and American Councils will contact you with information about hosting a high school foreign exchange student who is receiving a US State Department scholarship student and arrives in August 2016. I’m interested in an authentic international experience… at home!
