Host a Spanish exchange student for 2 - 4 weeks in JULY

Save to Favorites

Greenheart Exchange is seeking volunteers in Toms River and surrounding area to host students from Spain participating on a short exchange program, June 27 - July 25 . Participants range in age from 14 -16 and have a variety of interests. Currently we have 3 students left to place. Please consider hosting and/or sharing the word with other potential hosts, even someone who might be able to host just the first week or two. We will pay a $100 referral fee as a thank you if you share this information with someone who decides to host. Click here to apply.

During the program the students have English classes and activities most weekdays, so the program is suitable for busy, working families. (Family members may also join on activities, if they wish.). We can also pair one host with another to split the placement if there is a vacation or conflict that makes either party unable to host the full time. 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, and hosts are provided with a $50 weekly stipend to help offset expenses. A local American coordinator and Spanish leader are available to provide support to students and hosts 24-7. We welcome families with and without children, single parents, as well as empty nesters.
