LOOKING FOR A SOCCER-LOVING FAMILY TO HOST AN EXCHANGE STUDENT TO ATTENDLINCOLN SOUTHWEST HIGH SCHOOL

Meet Shoma, a 16-year-old boy from Japan - this great guy loves reading and attends a Super Science High School. About his favorite sport, he says, "I belong to a soccer club. I spend about half an hour to three hours playing soccer in the club. I'm not so strong, but I like playing it very much, so I am happy when I play it! My main role is to control a game and join both the attacking and the defending as a defensive midfielder." Shoma is part of the English Club and would be an excellent fit for Lincoln Southwest, where he can continue to learn English more fluently and help his classmates learn Japanese. LSW is the only school in the district with this world language #153068

This is for you if you want to make lasting long-life connections worldwide!
Join Greenheart Exchange as a host family!

Host families are loving, supportive, and caring individuals (married, single, kids/no kids) that students stay with throughout the academic year while attending local high schools. Hosts provide three meals daily, a bed/place to study, and transportation to/from school. Exchange students will have their insurance and spending money. Local coordinators (LC) supervise students while in the program; the LC helps support and guide them and your family. Application, reference, background check, home visit, orientations, and maintaining monthly contact with LC are part of the vetting & commitment to hosting.
