Volunteer Host Families Needed to host an exchange student from Brazil who is scheduled to arrive in the United States this August 2018.
For how long is the commitment? Host Families can choose to host the student for several months, for a semester or the school year.
What are the requirements? Host families are then required to provide the student with room and board and a loving family environment. The host family will be required to complete an application to start the approval process. The student will attend the local high school near the host family's home. Host families can be single persons, couples with children or no children, etc... Our doors are open to all loving host families.
When to apply? The sooner the better so the organization has enough time to request a vacancy at the local high school.
More about the student: His Name is Joao Vitor. He is 16 years old. Speaks English very well. He enjoys soccer, basketball, handball, performing card tricks and going to the gym. He is Christian and attends church regularly in Brazil. Joao will have his own spending money and OCEAN provides the student with a medical insurance.
