By breaking down barriers to international friendship, we contribute to a more peaceful global community. Our U.S.
This page is devoted to International Student Exchange families, schools, students, representatives, and friends in the Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, and Massachusetts. Each year, we work to unite thousands of high school exchange students from around the world with local volunteer host families. Department of State-designated cultural exchange programs provide a safe, nurturing environment for s
tudents and families to learn, grow, and experience a new way of life together. Empowering Families
We believe everyone has the power to make the world a better place. When you choose to host, you open your heart, mind, and home to a new culture while making a lasting, positive global impact. Individuals and families with spare room, an extra plate at mealtime, and friendship to extend to an international student are encouraged to apply. Enriching Communities
Our programs provide the opportunity to experience another culture, no plane ticket required. Classes in local schools come alive with new words, ideas, and perspectives. Local causes receive new support from students eager to give back to their host communities. The benefits of cultural exchange extend into communities around the country thanks to our passionate advocates.
