volunteers Families

I am seeking families to host foreign exchange students for the school year. It can be 1 month as a welcome family, 5 months or the full 10 months this school year. We still have a lot of students needing a home. All family types are welcome! These students come from all over the world and do have their own spending money. The age range is from 15yrs -17yrs old. Help a child's dream come true of spending time in America with a real American family. Provide them with a loving family.

 Please feel free to respond to this post or call me 612-486-9871 with questions. Here are a few letters the students have written.

 Sebastian-16 Mexico
 Hi, I am Sebastian I am 16 years old. I study in the 11th grade in Mexico. I am a very happy boy because of the chance to exchange my culture with your family and to live and learn from you. I will love to be in your family and form a part of it as your new son. I swim everyday and also like to run and play guitar. I want to develop my English. See the snow and learn other sports in the USA. I really hope I can be part of your family soon.

 Maximilian -15- Germany
 Dear host family,
 My name is Max and I am fifteen years old. I come from Germany and I live in a small town near Munich, which is called with about fourteen thousand citizens. Maybe you know Munich because of the „Oktoberfest". Now I want to give you a little impression about me and my life in Germany. I have one older brother and a younger sister. My sister is thirteen years old and my brother seventeen years old. In winter I like to go skiing or snowboarding. I hope I could show you a little, how I live here in Germany and would be glad, if you could decide for me. Love Max !

 Thea-17-Norway
 I am really excited about this upcoming year of school in America. I would like to take this year in America because I really want to learn the English language better, so I can speak English on a daily basis. I also want to see how it is to live in a real American family. I cant wait to meet you!

 Anna-15- Denmark
 Dear Host Family,
 My name is Anna and I'm 15 years old now. I'm really happy that I am being given the opportunity to live one year in the country I dream about living in in the future. I want to thank you so much for opening up your home for a complete stranger like me and giving me the opportunity to live like an American teenager for a whole year, it really means a lot to me. I am really excited about going to the USA and would love to hear from you in the future.
