Welcome the world home, through World Exchange!
The hosting experience is similar to having a family member stay with you. They don’t need their own room, only their own bed. You simply include them in your everyday lives. If you’re headed to the grocery store, take them with you. Library? Take them with you. They are coming for the language immersion experience, so it’s not important to entertain them, per se; simply talk to them.
Most of the teens have at least 2 years of English classes and can get by speaking English. They are working on fluency. The teens come fully insured and have their own spending money. They’re aged 15-18.
Apply for consideration below, through the link with the dates you prefer.
We will come to your home to interview your family to ensure everyone is on-board and see where the student will be sleeping. We will also check two references for you.
Along the way, you’ll get to review dossiers of students based on compatibility and we’ll decide together which student will be a good fit for your family. If you’ve been a host family previously with World Exchange, the interview isn’t necessary.
While the students are here, there will be two planned activities and a farewell party (all during the week, so you may enjoy the weekends with your teen).
Please reach out if you need more information. Text or call: 614-204-5306
Thank you for your interest.
