About this event

Interested in Hosting a High School Exchange Student?

Come join us for a casual virtual info session! Whether you’ve just heard about hosting or have been thinking about it for a while, this is a great way to learn more in a no-pressure setting. We’ll walk through what hosting really looks like and how your family could make a lifelong impact—without needing a passport!

In this session, you’ll learn:

  • What it means to host a high school exchange student
  • The types of students we place (sports lovers, artists, introverts, go-getters!)
  • What kind of support and guidance host families receive
  • The flexible ways to get involved
  • What day-to-day life is like with a student in your home
  • How hosting changes lives—yours and theirs

This session is perfect for:

  • Empty nesters or retirees with a little extra room and a love for connection
  • Families with kids who would enjoy a cultural sibling
  • Single adults, couples, or non-traditional families—every kind of household is welcome
  • Anyone curious about cultural exchange and community-building

There’s no commitment and no pressure—just come, ask your questions, and see if hosting might be a fit for you.

I’d love to meet you and share what this experience has meant to families like yours in our community!
