- A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
CCI Greenheart, a non-profit student exchange organization, is seeking hosts for students from Japan participating in a short summer exchange program, July 24 - August 13. Participants range in age from 13 - 17 and have a variety of interests. During the program the students have English classes and activities arranged on weekdays so the program is suitable for busy, working families. (Family members may also join on activities, if they wish.)
Hosting can help you make an international friend and get to know more people in your community. We welcome families with and without children, single parents, as well as empty nesters.
Hosts provide a bed (students may share a room with similarly aged host sibling), meals, and a warm and safe environment. Students come with spending money and insurance. A local American coordinator will be available to provide support to students and hosts 24-7. Three short weeks can lead to lifetime friendships!
If you are interested in hosting please contact Pauline at:
