Host a European Student!

Bring the world to your family and host a European exchange student this summer!

Join our summer cultural program in New York to welcome one of the 13 European students coming to our area in July! The students will live with local families from 3 to 9 weeks and will attend a cultural program organized by WEP (World Exchange Program) during the weekdays including English classes, museum outings and nearby attractions. Welcome one of these deserving boys and girls and get a new son or daughter for life! Families are only asked to provide a bed (a room can be shared with a host sibling) and 3 meals a day.


Explore magical Italy, Belgium or France without leaving your home by interacting with your student, getting to know their language or polishing your French or Italian, and a making a friend for life that you can visit! The students prepare delicious recipes to share with their hosts and will be happy to treat you to some amazing authentic dishes!
