Did you know that the high school exchange student programs were created by our governemnt after WWII to improve our image worldwide? The programs still exist because they work, and there has never been a time that we NEED this more than now.
Please do not dismiss this wonderfully enriching opportunity because you have no children, are single, or have only small children. Some of the best placements of all are with families with small children. Two or more teenagers under the same roof is a whole different dynamic than one teenager and a few small children who all love eachother and can express it much more freely than.... You know what I mean, both ways can work beautifully.
International Student Exchange is a non-profit organization, approved by the U.S. Department of State, and fully listed with the Council on Standards for International Educational Travel (www.csiet.org).
It's all about connections and life-long friendships with kids who may, in the coming years, become leaders in their home nations. We work with students from at least 56 nations including Spain, Vietnam, Tailand, Holland, Chile, The Czech Republic, Belgium, South Korea, Serbia, China, Brazil, Germany...
Currently we need volunteer host families for students arriving in August for the 2008-09 school year. We also have a few students who come for only one semester.
We have student profiles for you to view which include introductory letters and a list of enjoyed activities like soccer, hockey, basketball, horseback riding, musical hobbies and aspirations, cooking, etc.
We also need area representatives in the outlying areas of Tennessee and Kentucky who enjoy working with people. The host families are volunteers, but area reps do make some money for placing and supervising students. An area rep who finds seven host families, gets to go on the training trip to Athens Greece next November. Fourteen, and you can bring a family member.

Here are sample pictures of some of the students who may be available for placement in Tennessee or Kentucky for this coming school year.
Aldo (upper left) is from Chihuahua. Both of his parents are doctors and he plans on becoming a doctor too. He is very athletic, excelling especially in soccer and golf. He has a lot of chores at home including charge of the garden and lawn, washing the car and keeping his room clean. *****Aldo has requested placement in Kentucky*****.
Kim Ngoc (upper right, with her brother) is from Vietnam. She has many responsibilities and chores at home, but is also a very motivated student. Her English teachers say she is very astute and gets along well with everyone, but that she is also a little bit timid. She enjoys camping and other outdoor activities with her family.
Marcela (lower left) is from Brazil, but her grandparents are from Italy. She loves to cook and go horseback riding. She also enjoys sports such as vaulting, handball, swimming, basketball, ping pong and skiing.
Seung-ho "Nick" (lower right) is from South Korea. His father says of him, "He is mild and friendly to others. He is very excellent in understanding the core of the subject such as talking, story and etc. However, he is a little prudent to express his idea in front of others. In my point of view he listens carefully to what others say. I believe he is well accustomed to change environment so that he can be a good member of your family."
