Host a Spanish exchange student for 2 - 4 weeks in JULY
ORGANIZATION: Greenheart Exchange
Please visit the new page to apply.
Greenheart Exchange, a non-profit student exchange organization, is seeking hosts in the Vacaville area for students from Spain participating in a short exchange program, June 26 - July 24. Participants range in age from 14 - 17 and have a variety of interests. 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.
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, and hosts are provided with a $150 weekly stipend to help offset expenses. A local American coordinator and Spanish leader will be available to provide support to students and hosts 24-7. A few short weeks can lead to lifetime friendships!
If you are interested in hosting please complete our short term host application to start the process:
