Host an International Student in Appleton!
ORGANIZATION: Quest Exchange
Please visit the new page to apply.
Quest Exchange is non-profit organization based in San Francisco with more than 16 years of experience in international student exchange programs. We are looking for a family to host one of our international students who will be studying at Xavier High School in Appleton for the 2016-2017 school year!
We have several Spanish and Chinese students who will be attending Xavier High School this fall! Would your family like to experience hosting an international student this upcoming year?
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 Mei at mei@questexchange.org or call our national office at (415) 665-3900. We have an energetic staff that is happy to tell you more about the hosting experience. Our fabulous local coordinator in Appleton will be happy to meet with you and help you register as a host family!
