Few experiences can spark an interest in the world like welcoming an exchange student into your home. By hosting, families can connect to their communities in exciting new ways and create life-changing friendships. They can share the American way of life with an enthusiastic visitor, and expose their own children to international cultures. Hosting an exchange student offers a profound experience that does more than change your world view. It changes your life -- forever.

Our volunteer host families represent the diversity of America and we encourage families "of all shapes and sizes" to consider hosting. Many of our families have teenagers of their own, young children, or grown children who do not live at home; others have no children. Host families are expected to provide room and board, and to treat their student like a member of the family. To host, one adult in the home must be at least 25 years old.

EF Foundation for Foreign Study (effoundation.org) is the leader in high school exchange. We have connected over 100,000 students with American families, and offer all program participants unparalleled, 24/7 support throughout the exchange year.

To meet this year's class of incoming students and to read their personal letters about why they want to come to America, visit effoundation.org today.
