Host an Exchange Student - Fergus Falls & Beyond with Stephanie, ISE

🌎💛 Looking for a Host Family 💛🌎

Meet Diego from Spain 🇪🇸
A 15-year-old student who loves:
🏀 Basketball
🥋 Martial Arts
✈️ New experiences and meeting new people

Diego is excited to experience American school life, make friendships, and become part of a welcoming family this upcoming school year ❤️

Hosting is simpler than many people think:
✔️ Students come with their own spending money 💵
✔️ Health insurance is provided 🏥
✔️ Shared bedrooms are OK 🛏️
✔️ Full support is provided throughout the year 🤝

Sometimes all it takes is:
🏡 A safe home
🍽️ A seat at the table
💛 A family willing to say “welcome”

📩 Message me if you’d like more information about hosting Diego or another student!

🌍💛 Maybe This Is Your Sign to Consider Hosting 💛🌍

It’s been a little while since I’ve posted, but as we get closer to the new school year, I wanted to reach out again ❤️

Right now, I’m looking for welcoming families interested in hosting an international high school exchange student this upcoming school year ✈️🎒

Hosting isn’t about having a perfect home or perfect schedule.

It’s about:
🏡 Making someone feel welcome
🍽️ Sharing everyday life
🌎 Learning about another culture
❤️ Creating memories that last long after the school year ends

Students come with their own spending money and health insurance, and full support is provided throughout the year 🤝

Some of the best host families started with:
👉 “Maybe…”
👉 “Tell me more…”
👉 “We’ve thought about it before…”

If hosting has ever crossed your mind, even just a little, feel free to message me 💬

And if hosting isn’t for you, sharing this post could help it reach the perfect family ✨

💙 Prom Season Is Here… 💙

One of my favorite times of year.

Watching exchange students experience their first prom — getting dressed up, taking photos, laughing with friends, and sharing it all with their host families — is something truly special ✨

These aren’t just pictures…
They’re moments they’ll remember forever.
They’re friendships that last a lifetime.
They’re the little things that turn a house into a home 🏡

Right now, I’m looking for a few welcoming families for the upcoming school year 🌍✈️

If you’ve ever thought about hosting, this might be your year 💛
Feel free to message me — I’m happy to answer any questions.

And if not, sharing this helps more than you know 🌎

🛑 What if this was the post you almost scrolled past?

Right now, there are international students hoping to come to the U.S. this fall…
and they’re just waiting for a family to say yes. 🌍

Not a perfect family.
Not a perfect house.

Just someone willing to offer:
🏡 A safe place
🍽️ A seat at the table
❤️ A little room in their life

Students come with their own spending money and insurance, and full support is provided throughout the year.

Sometimes the biggest impact starts with a simple “maybe.”

If this even crosses your mind tonight, message me. I’d love to share more 💬

And if it’s not for you, sharing this might help it reach the right home. 🌎✨

🌍💛 A Simple Way to Make a Difference 💛🌍

Sometimes making a difference is as simple as:

🍽️ An extra seat at your table
🏡 A safe place to call home
❤️ Including someone in your everyday life

I’m currently looking for local host families for international high school students arriving this school year ✈️🎒

✔️ Students have their own spending money 💵
✔️ Health insurance is provided 🏥
✔️ Full support throughout the year 🤝

They just need a welcoming family.

If you’ve ever been curious, feel free to message me 💬
And if not, sharing this helps more than you know 🌎✨

🌍🏡 Could Your Family Be the Right Fit? 💛

Last night I shared Aliyah from Germany 🇩🇪, one of the amazing students hoping to come to the U.S. this August as part of the International Student Exchange program ✈️🎒

Students like Aliyah are excited to experience everyday American life — things like:

🌙💛 Before the Weekend Ends… 💛🌙

As this weekend wraps up, I wanted to share one more simple request with our community.

I am still looking for TWO local families willing to host an international high school student arriving this August 🌍✈️

Hosting isn’t about having a perfect house or extra money.

✔️ Students come with their own spending money 💵
✔️ They have health insurance 🏥
✔️ Shared bedrooms are OK 🛏️
✔️ Full support is provided all year 🤝

What truly matters is offering:
🏡 A safe place to land
🍽️ A seat at your table
❤️ A welcoming heart

Somewhere in our town are the right two families — maybe they just need to see this post.

If you’ve ever been curious, please message me. I’m happy to answer questions — no pressure at all.

And if hosting isn’t for you, sharing this could help us reach the right home. 🌎✨
