Come be apart of peace, knowledge, and cultural understanding

Volunteer Host Family

Please consider opening your home and your heart to a teenager from another part of the world. Student exchanges promote peace and cultural understanding for all involved.

ASSE International Student Exchange is seeking volunteer host families for the 2016-2017 school year. You can apply now, its not too early. Student applications have already started arriving. When your host family application is complete and approved you may begin correspondence with your new family member.

Students live with a volunteer host family for 5 or 10 months while attending high school. Host families provide a bed, a bedroom ( sharing a room with another teen of the same gender is suitable), meals, a little transportation to school and social activities, and mainly love and guidance.

Students have a variety of interest: sports, music, academic and social. While here they become involved in your family and school activities as well as your community. They become another member of your family. It is a very rewarding experience.

This is a volunteer based ( no compensation). ASSE is a non-profit company/program.Please call me Serena D.    ASSE Area Representative for more information. (716) 400-5744 or respond to email.

You will be truly making a dream come true for them. Thank You!
