CCI Greenheart is unlike any other exchange organization. Hosting is a great experience with CCI. Their Greenheart is an amazing part of this program, giving back to the local communities. Their are many amazing programs offered by CCI and the people are great. Highly recommended if you are considering hosting an exchange student!

CCI Exchange represents highly dedicated local c oordinadors. They do care about the students. What I like the most about them is their knowledge about the cultural exchange. Some of the local coordinadors, like Izabela from South Lyon, used to travel as an exchange student. She knows couple languages and with the passion dedicates her time towards this program. Pleased to work with people who can see a bigger picture of the exchange program.Thumbs up CCI.

Dorothy Kelly, the CCI coordinator with whom I was in contact for our area, worked very hard to find the right girl for us. AND she did find a most wonderful, perfectly-suited girl from France. Fit like a kid glove. Dorothy was there prior to the girl coming over, in contact with me when I had any question, was there frequently and as needed after the girl came over. Dorothy went to a lot of personal effort to get a free surfing lesson for the girl and to help figure out what to do regarding a doctor visit when the girl developed a bad cough that wouldn't disappear. She piloted a pontoon boat for us on the St. John's and the exchange student and two new local friends had the time of their lives. I can only speak for Dorothy Kelly in our area, but I believe that CCI is a terrific foreign exchange program. I highly recommend CCI and also recommend waiting for that super match and not settling for just any one. Bess Wall Bunnell, FL
