Host Families Needed

STS Foundation is inviting local families to host teenaged exchange students for ten months starting this fall. The students come from more than 40 countries around the world. They will attend local high schools and want to share their culture with an American host family. Host families are responsible for room and board and the students bring their own spending money and insurance.

According to STS, the foundation will “help you find the ideal match for your family by interviewing the entire family to discover individual hobbies and interests. We take into account the following: religious preferences, sports involvement, household activities, outdoor activities, musical talents, etc. Perhaps you have a country of interest or a language you have always wanted to learn. There is a perfect student for every family.”

STS welcomes all types of families to apply to host, including older couples, young couples, childless couples, and single parents. The foundation’s local representative will be available throughout the year to assist host families and their students.
