ASSE International Student Exchange Programs is seeking local families to host boys and girls between the ages of 15-18 from a variety of countries around the world.

Students come with an enthusiasm to practice their English and experience American culture – food, sports, shopping and more.

They also will share their own culture with host families.

Host families welcome these students into their family, not as a guest, but as a family member, giving both the students and families a rich cultural experience.

In addition, students have pocket money for personal expenses; and full health, accident and liability insurance.

Students are academically selected into the program, and 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, call the Midwestern Regional Office at 800-736-1760.
