Host Family to High School Exchange Student

Be a Host Family to a High School Exchange Student

Education Travel & Culture provides inbound program opportunities for high school students from around the world to study in an American high school and live with an American family. ETC works with the U.S. Department of State to find homes for high school foreign exchange students arriving on a J‑1 visa. The program includes students aged 14‑18 from a variety of countries who bring their own spending money and health insurance, have good English skills, are highly screened, and are excited to meet an American family.

• Ensure a safe and nurturing home environment for the student
• Provide a room (which may be shared with a similar‑aged family member) and the student’s own bed
• Provide three meals per day
• Arrange transportation to and from school and extracurricular activities
• Give love and support to the student
• Explore cultural differences and similarities with the student
• Families with or without children are accepted

• Bring their own spending money and health insurance
• Have good English skills
• Are highly screened for the program
• Excited to meet their American family

Learn a new culture by tasting new foods, listening to new music, and speaking a new language; share your culture with an exchange student; add another member to your family; help an exchange student receive an American education and a lifetime experience.

The Rogers Family (former host family) stated: “Our exchange student has been such a blessing in our lives. We had no idea we were missing anything until she came into our lives… She has become not just a daughter to me, but my friend.”
