Why Host an Exchange Student?

When you host an international exchange student with ISE, you’re doing more than making his or her dream come true.  As a host family, you also: 

• Enrich your family, local high school, and community with valuable new ideas and perspectives.
• Increase the mutual understanding between people of different cultures.
• Encourage peaceful relationships between the United States and other countries around the world. 
• Create meaningful friendships for yourself, your family, and the people in your community.
• Help educate the leaders of tomorrow so that they may develop into service-minded, well-rounded global citizens.
