Host an International Exchange Student (Fall 2015) (FULL AD) (Various Regions, NC)
Can You Help Make a High School Student's Dream Come True? (video)
International Student Exchange (ISE) is looking for Volunteer host families to share in a culturally rewarding experience, hosting foreign exchange high school students from around the globe. Having someone from another country stay in your home can be a real eye-opener for kids and parents alike!
