Host Family International High School Student

Are you ready to make a lasting impact in the lives of young people?

Do you have a passion for cultural exchange and learning about other traditions? Hosting an international exchange student could be the perfect experience for you!

We partner with the U.S. Department of State to welcome high school students from around the world to the United States on J-1 visas. These students, aged 14-18, are eager to share their unique cultures and experiences with a welcoming American family.

• Provide a safe and nurturing home environment.
• Offer a private room (can be shared with a similar-aged host sibling) with a comfortable bed.
• Supply three meals per day to support the student.
• Facilitate transportation to and from school and for extracurricular activities.
• Extend love, mentorship, and support throughout their stay.
• Engage in cultural exchange by exploring both differences and similarities.
• Open to families of all types, whether you have children or not.

• They come with their own spending money and health insurance.
• They possess good English skills, making communication seamless.
• Each student undergoes thorough screening for the program.
• They arrive excited to connect with their American family!

• Experience new cultures by trying different foods and sharing stories.
• Introduce your own background while learning from the exchange student.
• Add a new member to your family and create lifelong memories.
• Support a young individual in obtaining a valuable American education and unforgettable experiences!

Listen to what The Rogers Family, a previous host family, shares about their journey: "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. Having a host daughter has brought so much joy and laughter to our family. It's heartwarming to see my children bond with her.

She has not only become a daughter to me but also a dear friend."
