Curious About Hosting a High School Exchange Student?
Let’s talk about what it’s really like! This relaxed, 45-minute session at Public Library of Johnston County and Smithfield is a great opportunity to learn more about hosting—what it looks like, how it works, and why it matters.
You’ll get a quick overview of the program, meet a local community advisor for Borderless Friends Forever (that’s me!), and walk away with a better sense of whether hosting could be a good fit for your household. There’s no obligation—just real info, real stories, and a chance to ask your questions.
We’ll cover things like:
- Who our students are and how they’re matched with families
- The different ways families can host (short-term or long-term)
- What kind of support host families receive throughout the experience
- How everyday life looks with a student in your home
- The lasting impact hosting can have—for you and the student
You might enjoy this session if you:
- Have been curious about hosting but unsure how it works
- Are an empty nester, single adult, couple, or a family with kids
- Love learning about different cultures and building community
- Want to explore a meaningful, flexible way to give back
Drop in and find out if this could be your next adventure—no pressure, just possibilities!
