Foreign high school students are scheduled to arrive soon for

academic semester and year homestay programs, and the sponsoring

organization needs a few more local host families.

The students are anxiously awaiting news of their new families. This is the last chance for these young ambassadors to fulfill their life-

long dreams.

The students are all between the ages of 15 and 18

years, are English-speaking, have their own spending money, carry

accident and health insurance, and are anxious to share their

cultural experiences with their new American families, according to John Doty, the president of Pacific Intercultural Exchange.

Pacific Intercultural Exchange has programs to match almost every family’s needs, ranging in length from one semester to a full academic year.

Families interested in learning more about student exchange or arranging for a meeting with a community representative may call 1-866-546-1402.
