STATE — World Heritage International Student Exchange Program (WH), a Non-Profit, Public Benefit Organization, is seeking local families to host foreign exchange students this coming school year. World Heritage students come from a variety of countries worldwide: Italy, Denmark, Spain, France, Germany, Ukraine, Japan, and Australia, to name just a few. They are between the ages of 15 and 18 years, and they are enthusiastic and excited to experience American culture, family life, school, and sports. etc.
They also love to share their own culture and language with their host families, who welcome the students into their homes, not as a guest, but as a family member, giving everyone involved a rich cultural experience. Host families may be single parents, couples, and single persons.
The exchange students have pocket money for personal expenses and full health, accident, and liability insurance. World Heritage students are carefully selected based on academics and personality, and host families choose their students from different backgrounds, countries, and personal interests.
World Heritage also offers qualified American students the opportunity to learn another language and culture by spending a school year, semester, or summer with a host family in another country.
If interested in hosting an exchange student or becoming an exchange student abroad, please call Debra at 1-800-888-9040, visit www.world-heritage.org, or send an email to info@world-heritage.org to request more information or start the application process.
Students are eager to learn about their American host family, so begin the process of welcoming your new son or daughter today. The memories and the relationship you create with your exchange student will stay with you forever.
