Exchange students create bridges between cities around the world!

Recently, Alice from Italy attended her host city's city council to meet the mayor. As a thank you for welcoming her into their community, Alice gifted the Mayor with a plaque from the mayor of her hometown in Italy! In return, she received a lovely tote bag to take back to her mayor in Italy when she returns home.

We know moments like these are ones our exchange students will never forget, and these gifts will be cherished by people around the world for years to come!

Thank you to City of Seguin - Government for making Alice and so many exchange students feel welcome!

Is there anything better than going to the fair?🤗

Taking your exchange student to your local fair or festival is a great way to show off what makes your community special! Each corner of the USA has its own traditions and customs to celebrate and partake in, and exchange students love trying new things.

In honor of , we're sharing a clip from our podcast, Around the Exchange Table!

Are you looking to make a difference in your community?

Whether you’ve hosted an exchange student before, or have never even heard of exchange, getting involved as a Local Coordinator can make a big impact in your community.

Exchange students are an incredible addition to communities around the USA, as they share their culture, skills, and lived experiences with every American they meet. They love supporting local businesses, attending your town’s festivals and events, and cheering on their classmates in the stands. They also give back to their host communities through volunteering and community service!

Regardless of your experience, when you join STS Foundation, you are joining a team of experienced, compassionate people who are here to help you and make the most of your journey with us! Head to https://stsfoundation.org/become-a-local-coordinator/ and join the fun today!
