Opportunity to Host a French Exchange Student for 3 weeks

This article is about a volunteer host opportunity for cultural exchange with a French exchange student

CCI Greenheart's Cultural Exchange Program is coming to Boston this summer! As part of this program, 10 high-school age exchange students and 1 adult leader from France will be flying to Boston for a 3 week cultural immersion program from July 8-July 28. The program is currently seeking 11 host families from Newton, Brookline, Brighton, Watertown, and surrounding areas to provide meals and housing for one student or the adult leader for the duration of the three-week program.

Volunteer host families will be responsible for providing meals and housing for one student for the three week period and will be able to spend time with the student and share aspects of American culture. This is a great introduction into hosting for families who are unsure if they are ready for longer hosting commitments but would like to try hosting for a short period of time. In the current political climate, this is also a great opportunity to open up and accept international students and participate in cultural exchange.

If you are interested in hosting or would like more information, please email the Local Coordinator Monique Baumont at mbaumont5@gmail.com.
