ASSE International Student Exchange Programs (ASSE), in cooperation with area high schools, is looking for local families to host boys and girls ages 15 to 18 for the next academic year. Students from all over the world – places like Germany, Spain, Italy, Japan, and Ukraine, to name a few – are excited to study in the USA; all they need now is a host family.
Loving and caring host families are the cornerstone of ASSE’s program and vital to its mission of bridging the gap between people, cultures, and nations. By generously opening your home to a young person from overseas, you and your family could help ASSE continue its global commitment to increasing international peace, understanding, and unity.
Preparations are well underway for the 2023-24 program year and the arrival of students this fall. ASSE students come with an enthusiasm to practice their English and experience American culture – food, sports, shopping, and more. They also love to share their own culture with their host families – who welcome them not as guests, but as family members – giving both the students and families a rich cultural experience.
In addition, ASSE students have pocket money for personal expenses, along with health, accident, and liability insurance. ASSE students are selected for participation based on academics and good citizenship. Host families can choose their students from a wide variety of backgrounds, countries, and personal interests.
To become a host family, or to find out how to become involved with ASSE in your community, call the ASSE Eastern Regional Office at 1-800 677-2773 or go to http://www.host.asse.com to begin a host family application.
