Interested in Foreign Exchange?
Become a coordinator and mentor for high school foreign exchange students living in your community!
EF High School Exchange Year is looking to bring on part time local coordinators in Shoreline (and throughout Western Washington) to help us with bringing our students to the area. Coordinators (IEC’s) find volunteer host families, match students with those families and supervise and mentor the exchange students while they are in the USA. The IEC works closely with the school, family and student to ensure a successful experience. The best IEC’s are enthusiastic about cultural exchange, enjoy working with teens and are active in the community. It’s a part time/freelance position. Many IEC’s have full time jobs and some actually work for a school in some way or are parents who are active in PTA or other parent/school relationships.
EF Foundation is the largest high school foreign exchange student program of its kind, bringing thousands of high school students from countries worldwide to study for one year or semester in the USA. Our students are well screened to participate in our program, all speak fluent English and have shown they have the maturity and academic ability to be successful in a host family and American high school setting. Our mission is to break down cultural barriers by opening the world through education and experiences.
