SHARE! YOUR HEART & HOME
Host Families Needed
Dallas area volunteers - with or without children at home- are needed to SHARE! their heart and home with international high school exchange students for the coming fall semester or school year.
The students hope to arrive in AUGUST and are in need of caring families or single adults to provide a home and share with them this unique experience. The host family or parent will provide a bed, meals, as well as friendship, understanding, and a genuine desire to share the American way of life with a youngster from overseas. The students speak English, are covered by medical insurance and have spending money for their personal expenses. For more information, please call Yvette Coffman, SHARE! Southwest Regional Administrator at 214-366-4678.

About ERDT/SHARE! High School Exchange
Location:
2601 Ocean Park Blvd, Suite 322, Santa Monica, CA 90045, US
Mission Statement
To create opportunities for greater tolerance and understanding between Americans and peoples of the world.
Description
Each year, the SHARE! High School Exchange Program selects and sponsors approximately 750 exchange students, between the ages of 15 and 18 years old, to experience life in the United States by living with Host Families and attending local public high schools for one semester or a full academic year.
The goal of ERDT is to provide opportunities for people of different cultures to come together to learn about other points of view and ways of life. We at ERDT believe that cross-cultural understanding is fundamental to developing mutual respect and tolerance between Americans and people from around the world. Our programs provide cultural experiences that foster good will, tolerance, and understanding through a positive people-to-people experience.
SHARE! is well-respected in the exchange community (overseas agents, host families and coordinators) specifically for our personal approach to student exchange. We are a medium-sized organization--large enough to provide stability and variety, but small enough to maintain a personal touch. Being as selective as we are, we can maintain a family-like atmosphere that extends to our field staff, host families, and exchange students.
Prospective students undergo a screening process that includes written and spoken English language tests, the submission of academic and medical records, student and host family questionnaires, interviews and more.
Our coordinators are well-trained SHARE! EPCs undergo an extensive training process and are given specific tools to help them support both families and students through the exchange process.
