Council on International Educational Exchange. Host an international Exchange Student and let them experience Santa Fe!
Always looking for more local coordinators.
CIEE Local Coordinators make a difference in their communities by offering families the opportunity to host international high school students from over 55 countries! By developing relationships with schools, host families and students, Local Coordinators help to ensure that the experience is a success for everyone.
Many of our coordinators have full time jobs, are stay at home moms and dads, or are retired. Our local coordinators receive a small compensation and unique travel opportunities within the U.S., as well as internationally, that allow you to meet and develop relationships with other Local Coordinators across the U.S.
For more information GO TO THIS SITE or call me, Joan Lucci, 505-920-2385.
Hosting an Exchange Student in a tough economy.
Question: Holding back from hosting a foreign exchange student because of the economy? Please give it a second thought.
The exchange student's family is required to cover most of the student's living expenses, plus most programs provide health insurance for the student. Sure, as a host you will be responsible to provide the student a place to stay and food to eat, but consider the value! When you host a foreign exchange student, you will be part of a program that has proven to be one of the best diplomatic tools in bridging cultures.
You can and should apply anytime. The next semester is in Fall 2010. A family in Nashville says, "If we can do it, anybody can." Hear how they were able to host a student in a tough economy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyeRicBEVB8&feature=player_embedded
For more information about the next group of students hoping to find a host family, please contact me:
