Host an Italian Student this Summer!

A unique cultural opportunity for anyone who'd like to learn more about Italy!

Join our second year in bringing an Italian cultural program to Somers/Brewster area this summer and host one of the 13 teens from Italy arriving on July 14th for 3 weeks! The students and their American Literature teacher will live with local families to discover the daily lives of the American people, while having a rich enhancement program during the weekdays with ESL classes and visits to NYC. The students are supported by the local counselor (also a host mom), and passed rigorous screenings to be selected for the program. Families are only asked to provide a room and 3 meals at home. A host family stipend is provided to offset the costs of hosting!

Explore the magic of Italy without leaving your home by interacting with your student, learning the language and discovering the beautiful culture - you will get a friend for life! The students prepare delicious recipes to share with their hosts and will be happy to treat you to some authentic Italian dishes! Don't delay and sign up NOW as only 6 students are left!
