Host an Exchange Student!
Being a host family is as rewarding for you as it is for the international student you bring into your home. You learn about another culture, you provide a once-in-a-ifetime experience for a teenager from across the globe, and you form a relationship that will stay with you and your family forever.
Trust EF High School Exchange Year to ensure that your exchange experience is the best it can be. We offer:
* A local coordinator who helps you select the right student, and works with your school.
* Great support throughout the exchange.
* Students who have been carefully screened for language, attitude and grades.
* Students who bring their own spending money and insurance.
Host families are not paid. According the U.S. Department of State, host families cannot receive financial gain from their participation in a student exchange program. This rule is designed to ensure that host families are participating in the program for the right reasons. However, in recognition of their role as citizen ambassadors, all host families are eligible to receive a charitable tax deduction on their tax return.
*Dates may vary depending on school district calendar and if attending camp.
