Host an Italian and Belgian High School Student this September!
Cultural Enrichment and Educational Support

Join our cultural program to host one of the 5 teens from Italy and Belgium
coming to study at a high school in the Tacoma school district
for a semester or school year. The students will live with local
families to discover the daily live of the American people, while going
to school and making new friends. The participants are supported by the
local counselor, and each student passed rigorous screenings and exams
to be selected for the program. Families are only asked to provide a
room and 3 meals a day. A host family stipend of $400/month 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 that you could visit. The
students prepare delicious recipes to share with their hosts and will be
happy to treat you to some amazing authentic dishes!
