Mission Statement
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.
Description
Host families are the backbone of the CHI Academic Year Program (AYP). By volunteering and opening your home and heart to the world’s young people, you are donating to them an uncommon gift: an offer of friendship, a willingness to share themselves and their way of life, and a genuine interest in learning about culture and customs.
