    Description

    Open Your Home to an International Student Today!

    At Greenheart Exchange, we're looking for compassionate hosts like you to provide a welcoming environment for our students. Whether you're a family with kids, an empty nester, or a devoted pet parent, there's a place for you in our hosting community.

    Our students hail from over 60 countries, each bringing their own unique personality and interests. Whether you're an outgoing adventurer or a laid-back homebody, there's a student who will fit right in with your family.

    As a host, you'll offer three meals a day, transportation, and a comfy bed with space to study. Whether you're a bustling household or a quiet retreat, we believe families come in all shapes and sizes - just like our students!

    Interested in learning more? Visit www.hostwithgreenheart.org to explore the joys of hosting and let us know you're ready to welcome a student into your home. We can't wait to find the perfect match for your family!
