Quest

Quest Exchange is a non-profit organization based in San Francisco with more than 16 years of experience in international student exchange programs. We are looking for loving host families for our students at Indian River Charter High School. Our students are typically here for three months during the school year. We have a group of students who will be arriving this January and March.

Your role as a host family is to provide a caring and supportive environment for your exchange student. The student’s family life is the foundation of their experience here in the U.S. We hope that you can encourage your student to learn about American culture through experiences with family, friends, school, and the community.

There are many different types of host families, including single parents, families with or without children, empty nesters and retirees. We require that host parents are at least 25 years of age and are able to take on the financial responsibility of hosting. Quest pays a small stipend each month to cover some of the costs of hosting.

If you are interested in hosting for Quest please email Annie at annie@questexchange.org or call our national office (415-665-3900). We have an energetic staff that is happy to tell you more about the hosting experience!
