The SHARE! Exchange Program Coordinator (EPC)

An EPC is dedicated to the promotion of world peace and cultural tolerance. As an EPC, you proudly promote the SHARE! program in your community, the local schools and among prospective host families.

The EPC chooses families for these teens and communicates with the local schools so that they are ready for the students' arrival. During the students' stay, the EPC meets regularly with the teens and families, helping them with adjustments and assisting them in ways to make their cultural exchange the experience of a lifetime for everyone involved!

Other EPC qualities include: commitment, persistence, flexibility, and the ability to work toward and accomplish established goals. Empathy, humor, understanding of human relationships, particularly those involving teens, counseling/mediation skills and being organized are also important.
