Would You Be Interested in Hosting a High School Student from Another Country?

International Student Exchange (ISE) is a non-profit, organization that unites international and domestic exchange students with volunteer host families. Our mission is to bring the people of the world together while helping them gain understanding, acquire knowledge and develop skills for living in a globally interdependent and culturally diverse world. With over 40 years of experience in international education, ISE is one of the largest and longest running sponsors of exchange programs in the U.S.

We are currently looking for families in this area to host a high school exchange student from another country during the upcoming school year. In return, host families can learn about another culture, enjoy lifelong friendships with students, fulfill the dream of a young person, be an ambassador for America, have a great experience, and much more.

Host Families:

• Accept a student into their home as a “son or daughter” for one or two semesters

• Provide a bed and room (student can share a room with a host sibling of the same gender within 4 years age difference)

• Share 3 meals a day (if students choose to purchase school lunches it is their responsibility)

• Receive local and regional support 24/7 for any needs (we have a 24 hour emergency hotline)

• Claim a $50 per month deduction on their federal income taxes

Students:

• From over 40 different countries - Are aged 15 to 18 (Grades 10-12)

• Well screened

• Speak English

• Have their own spending money

• Have full coverage health insurance

I would love to introduce you to some of the amazing kids that are excited to come to California! Wouldn’t you just love to learn about another country without having to travel to get there? For more information about becoming a host family please contact Heidi Cser at heidi_cser@yahoo.com or 916-749-2283. I’m so excited to make a positive impact in the lives of children across the nation!
