Hopeful Exchange Students Seeking Host Families for 2016-17 School Year

Host an Exchange Student/Be an Exchange Student

Youth for Understanding is currently seeking families willing to open their hearts and homes to international high school exchange students who will attend your local high school for the ‘16-17 school year. Students range in age from 15-18 years old and come with their own medical insurance and spending money. Host families provide meals, a loving home environment (and encouragement!). Students speak English and have gone through an extensive application process as well an orientation in their home country. Families can pick their own student to host based on gender, country of origin, age, interests and more. Students arrive in August and stay until the end of the school year. Fore more information, please call or email Donna Williams at 815.274.5253, dwilliams@yfu.org, or visit www.yfuusa.org.
