Host Families Needed For Exchange Students

World Heritage, a public benefit organization, is seeking local families to host high school students form France, Germany, Thailand, Korea, Japan, Mexico, Switzerland, Denmark, and Italy. Students are already awaiting word on their host family for the 2005-06 academic school year.

Host families provide room, board, and guidance for a teen living thousands of miles from home. Students are well screened and selected based on English proficiency, academic performance, teacher recommendations, and personal interviews. Couples, single parents, and families with or without children who are adventurous, fun living, responsible, and, most of all, caring, are encouraged to apply.

Each student is fully insured, brings his or her own personal spending money and expects to bear a fair share of household responsibilities as well as be included in normal family activities and lifestyles.
