Host Family
ORGANIZATION: PROGRAM OF ACADEMIC EXCHANGE
Please visit the new page to apply.
We are looking for open-minded, loving host families to host a high school foreign exchange student in their home for a school year. The family does this out of the kindness of their heart in a wish to give back to the community. Many of these students are from 3rd world countries and would be seeing our culture through new eyes. The host family would provide 3 meals a day, ensure that the student has transportation to and from school and activities, and a bed (it can't be an air mattress, futon, or trundle bed).

Mission Statement
PAX- Program of Academic Exchange is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to increase mutual respect among the people of the world, to foster an appreciation of our differences and similarities, and to enhance our ability to communicate with one another. PAX believes that this mission is served by providing young people with the opportunity to study abroad and live with a host family for an extended period of time.
Description
Founded in 1990, PAX provides young people from the United States and abroad with opportunities to live with a family in another country and to study and travel abroad. Each year up to 1100 high-school students participate in international exchange through PAX.
While PAX has a global vision, the organization works one student at a time. Committed to a quality program that is small and personal, PAX works exclusively with high school exchange. All PAX programs feature a homestay experience with a family abroad.
PAX has its headquarters in New York. The foundation works with community coordinators across the U.S. with 76 sending organizations around the world.
