Mission Statement
Cultural Homestay International (CHI) is a non-profit organization founded in 1980 to promote interational friendship and goodwill through educational exchanges. The goal of CHI's inbound programs is to immerse the young people from overseas into our North American culture, business and way of life. CHI's outbound programs offer young Americans opportunites to learn to intimately about other countries. We believe this to be the best way to promote trust and understnading among nations and to build a more prosperous, peaceful world.
Description
CHI is dedicated to carefully matching international exchange students with wonderful American host families and U.S. high schools. Every year high school-aged youth from over 30 countries around the world participate in CHI's high school foreign exchange program - the Academic Year Program (AYP).
As a U.S. Department of State designated J-1 visa program sponsor, CHI adheres to the highest level of program compliance. Host families can feel confident that they are participating in a quality educational and cultural foreign exchange program.
