    Description

    Exchange student host family

    Host a high school exchange student for a semester or school year on a J1 Visa! Exchange students come to all 50 states! If the host family is in the northwest suburbs of Chicago, they can host for a 2 week special event.

    Students integrate into their host families, schools, and communities to learn about the USA and to share their culture. Host family provides: 3 meals a day, a bed in which to sleep, local transportation as needed, as well as love and support. Students are between 14-18 years old, have good English skills, have their own money and insurance, and are eager to learn American culture!

    Julia is shown below, but there are many others from multiple other countries!
