Host families are needed for the 2014-2015 school year. Students are available from many different countries and families choose their student based on common interests, religious preferences, gender, or other characteristics.
To become a host family, one only needs to be able to provide room and board and transportation to school, including the school bus. On-line applications are available at Council for Education Travel website or by contacting local coordinator Betty Bourquein at 934-4454.
Students come with a proficiency in English, their own insurance, and their own spending money. They are to become a member of your family responsible for following the house rules, maintaining grades at school, doing light chores, and participating in family activities.
“One needs to think globally but act locally to enjoy the benefits of this lifelong relationship with someone from another part of the world,” Bourquein said.
