Our Programs
Host a student: an International Teen at your Home
Share your life. Create memories. Make an impact.
Welcome an international teen into your home for 2–4 weeks this summer and give them the gift of a true cultural exchange. As a volunteer host family, you’ll simply share your everyday life meals, conversations, local activities, and your community while forming a meaningful connection that can last long after the visit.
A short-term commitment that creates a lifelong impact.
Go Abroad: Summer Immersion for American Teens
Live with a welcoming host family in Europe.
American teens ages 13–17 can spend 2–4 unforgettable weeks living with a host family in France, Spain, Italy, or Germany. No classrooms just full immersion through daily life. Experience a new culture from the inside and practice the language naturally.
Authentic friendships and core memories that last a lifetime.
Host & Be Hosted: Reciprocal Exchange for all Teens
A meaningful two-way cultural connection.
With a reciprocal exchange, your family hosts an international teen and in return, your American teen is welcomed abroad by their family. It’s a powerful way to build a genuine cross-cultural relationship, deepen language skills, and experience everyday life on both sides of the exchange.
One partnership. Two cultures. Endless memories.
