Volunteer Host families sought in Lakeville Area

Pacific Intercultural Exchange (PIE), a nonprofit agency, is searching for open-minded volunteer host families for international exchange students arriving in late August.  All students are 15-18 years old, they speak English, have medical insurance and their own spending money.  Students attend the local public high school such as Lakeville North & South for an academic and cultural exchange.  Host families invite students to participate in family activities, and forge friendships that last a lifetime.  Students stay for either a 5 or 10 month program.

Local area representatives offer support to the host families, students and schools and provide group orientations and enhancement activities.

PIE is fully accredited by CSIET and abides by US State Department regulations.  Please call to view available student profile and welcome an international student into your home!
