    Description

    Host an Exchange Student

    We have amazing students waiting to learn about their new family. Imagine practicing your Italian with a student from Italy, or learning to make an Indonesian dish with an Indonesian, or “having family” to visit in Spain or Sweden one day! Those are just a few of the benefits of being a host family. Host families can be anyone---with kids in the house, empty nesters, or single people. The hosting period is only a semester or a school year, but the friendships may last a lifetime. You can Meet our available students here: https://greenheartexchange.org/host/host-an-exchange-student/#/tab/meet-our-students. I would be happy to talk with you more about the opportunity.
