There are many ways you and your family will benefit from welcoming a young person into your home for 5 or 10 months and sharing your everyday life:

Build memories and friendships that last a lifetime

Learn about another country, its customs and its culture

Make a difference. You can give that young person the chance to see how Americans live and work, to understand our customs and values

Share with your new “son” or “daughter” the customs and traditions of his or her country, learn some of the language and open your eyes to new ways of seeing things

Your student will return to his or her country full of stories and memories about the United States.
