YFU Is Seeking Host Families for Exchange Students

 

Youth for Understanding USA is looking for some local host families to host high school exchange students for the next school year. Host families provide a place to live and three meals a day plus the encouragement, advice and love to help their new family member through a semester or year in a new home. The students bring their own spending money and health insurance plus the willingness to be a good family member, following family rules and helping out with family responsibilities. YFU local representatives support the students and families to make sure it's a good experience for all involved.

 

For more information to see if this might be right for you and your family or to request profiles of students, contact Kathryn Moran at 1-800-872-0200 ext. 249. Or e-mail at Kmoran@yfu.org More information is available on the Youth for Understanding web-site at www.yfu-usa.org where families can fill out an on-line application and see a current list of available students.
