We Have Two Students In Need Now!

By Lisa Melville & Melissa Shrader Editor/Publisher Fort Collins Macaroni Kid November 8, 2021

We are looking for host families for a couple of amazing students!

 What's it like to Host?

Hosting brings joy of experiencing another culture while sharing our American way of life. You can choose students from countries or languages you may want to learn. You may wish to bring in a student who would love to share their language and culture with your family. You can host a foreign student the in the same grade as your high schooler or who shares similar interests as your family.    

When you choose to be a host family for an exchange student, you may develop a relationship that last far longer than the program. Cultural exchange experiences can be life-changing for the high schooler, and for the host family. Open your heart and home to a student and perhaps you will find yourself halfway across the globe celebrating with them and their family in the years that follow your hosting experience.
