Our family hosted exchange students 6 time and will host 2 for the coming school year. We love the kids and they keep us young, active and laughing as we are empty nesters. It is not hard. Have an open heart and love for teens. The kids are well screened and we got to pick ones that matched our family's interests!

They have great students from different countries.. and the local coordinators are always doing different activities with the kids. Helps them get to see what other kids are in the area.
