World Heritage Student Exchange Program, a highly respected, non profit, public benefit organization, is seeking local host families for high school boys and girls from Portugal, France, Germany, Brazil, Thailand, Korea, China, Spain, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Italy, the Middle East and the former Soviet Republics. Students are already awaiting word on their host family for the 2012-2013 academic school year. Host families provide room, board, and guidance for a teenager living thousands of miles from home. Couples, single parents, and families with and without children in the home are all encouraged to apply.

The exchange students arrive from their home country shortly before school begins fall 2012. Each World Heritage student is fully insured, brings his/her own personal spending money and expects to bear his/her share of household responsibilities, as well as being included in normal family activities and lifestyles.
