ASSE International Student Exchange Programs (ASSE), a nonprofit, public benefit organization, is inviting American families to discover the many rewards of hosting a foreign exchange student.
ASSE exchange students come from over 50 countries worldwide, including Italy, France, Spain, Brazil, and Thailand. They are between the ages of 15 and 18 and are eager to experience American culture, family life, school, sports, and more. They also enjoy sharing their own culture and language with their host families, who treat them as if they were members of their own families. This provides everyone involved with a rich cultural experience.
Host families can be single parents, couples, or single individuals. Exchange students arrive with pocket money for personal expenses and full health, accident, and liability insurance. ASSE students are chosen based on their academic and personal qualities, and host families can choose students from a wide range of backgrounds, nations, and interests.
If you are interested in hosting an exchange student this fall, please contact Saphia Lesch at 1-800-736-1760, visit asse.com, or send an email to asseusamidwest@asse.com to learn more or begin the application process. Students are eager to learn about their American host family, so start the process of welcoming your new son or daughter today. The memories and the friendships you create with your exchange student will be cherished forever.
