Aspect Foundation is looking for Believers in Cultural Exchange

• Do you enjoy working with youth and teens?
• Do you enjoy networking and meeting new people?
• Do you enjoy traveling and learning about other cultures?

If your answers are: YES, YES, YES, join our Cache County Aspect team as an International Coordinator and combine all three passions into one!

If you also have prior experience fundraising, doing community outreach, organizing local events and/or prior sales experience or if you or someone you know has hosted an exchange student before, even better! If not - that’s ok, too! We’ll provide you with all the training and information you need.

Location: Flexible work from your home

Responsibilities and Duties:

• Find, recruit and screen local volunteer host families
• Match local families with high school exchange students from 30 different countries
• Enroll students at their host families’ local public high school
• Supervise, mentor and support students and their families during their exchange experience (full school year or semester)
• Check in with students and host family by phone or in person on a monthly basis
• Hold three mandatory orientations with students and families (Welcome Orientation in September/October, Mid-Stay Orientation in January/February, End-of-Stay Orientation in May/June)
• Organize fun non-mandatory activities with students and host families (e.g. going bowling, potluck dinner party, movie night, pumpkin carving contest, meeting a local politician, visiting a local museum etc.) (students and families will be responsible to cover their share of expenses for participation)

Requirements:

• Age: 25 years and older
• Ability to pass a criminal background check
• Willingness to host an exchange student temporarily in the event of an emergency

• Ability to commit a few hours per month per student after student arrival for student supervision and support (training, supplies and stipend to offset costs provided, flexible set-your-own-hours schedule in consultation with students and families)

Qualities and Qualifications:

• Passion for helping young people learn and grow
• Being comfortable reaching out and speaking with people in local communities (both people you know and those you don't know - yet!)
• Desire to share your culture and learn about others
• Excellent communication and problem-solving skills
• Self-motivation and patience
• Prior experience fundraising, doing community outreach, organizing local events and/or sales experience are a plus, but are not required

Benefits:
