Share Your Heart and Home with an Exchange Student!

Ceci Lou Alter is interviewing families in the CDO area interested in hosting an international high school student during the 2014-15 academic school year!  Ceci is a Community Coordinator for PAX - Program of Academic Exchange, a not-for-profit educational organization.

PAX welcomes host families of all kinds who would like to share their hearts, home and culture with a young person from Brazil, Italy, Spain, Germany, China or any one of our international partners. All PAX students are between the ages of 15 and 18, speak English, have full insurance coverage and come with their own spending money.  PAX students arrive in late summer to begin school in the fall.

Host families come in all shapes and sizes - young couples, single parents and retirees are all welcome to apply as hosts.  Host families provide students with a bed (private bedrooms are not required), a quiet place to study, meals, and a warm, supportive environment.  Families can expect students to help with household chores and participate in family activities.

This is a wonderful chance to make a lifelong friend and help a young person learn more about America. Promote peace and understanding for the world's future leaders, both American and foreign.
