This poor baby needs justice. Why these boys thought it was funny to torture this innocent dog is beyond my comprehension.

Unfortunately as I was posting a very heartfelt post about hosting a student, I made a couple errors. The student has animals at home, pointing out that she is NOT adverse to having animals and she can share a bedroom, not a bed. I appreciate all the questions about these errors and hopefully the post makes more sense now

I have the most amazing student looking for a volunteer host family for the 2026-27 school year. She is 16 years old, from Italy, loves to cook, acting and plays chess. She has 2 cats and a dog and is looking so forward to spending the year in the US. She will be attending 12th grade.
She will come with her own Health Insurance, monthly spending money for her personal needs and as a host family you will provide meals, occasional transportation, a bed (she can share) and a treated as family.
Does this sound like an opportunity you would be interested in? Contact me today for more information: [email protected].

Guess What?!! I have 2 students looking to spend their highschool exchange program in our State. Do you know anyone that likes to sew? Or how about girl's field hockey?
Milena is 17 from Italy. She enjoys baking and cooking-especially baking Tiramisu!!! She enjoys sewing and wants to be involved with Fashion Design in the future. Big plus - She LOVES animals.

Leni is 15 and from Germany. She has been playing field hockey for 8 years and loves it. She also enjoys going to the gym to work out, so if you or you and your family enjoy being healthy and working out, she would be the perfect fit for you.

Host families can come in a variety of ways-traditional with or without children, with young children or teenagers, single parents, partnerships, financially stable (not relying on State funding), and just the ability to spend time with your student. Host families provide 3 meals a day (don't have to be huge), can provide transportation once in a while, and enjoy being around teenagers. Students come with their own health insurance, and monthly spending money for personal necessities.

If this is something you are interested in finding out more about, or if you know of someone that would be interested, send me a message and I would be happy to answer any and all questions.

Students are turning in their applications to come to the US and stay with a volunteer host family, for the 26-27 school year. These students have a number of activities they are interested in. They also have visions of what their future holds.
Do you have a country you would like to visit on your bucket list??

Giovanna is 16 years old from Brazil and loves to eat healthy and exercise. She wants to get a degree in Odontology and understands the importance of studying and maintaining good grades.

Aitana is 16 from Spain. She loves jumping on trampolines, cats and hanging out with family and friends. If your family has small children, that would be an amazing benefit. Aitana wants to be a primary school teacher.

Finja is 16 and from Germany. She loves crafting and baking. Any families out there that would love to have the opportunity to craft and bake with this young lady?

Lorenzo is 17 from Italy. This would be his last year to participate in the exchange program. Any cycling families? He loves to cycle, do puzzles and play board games.

These students are so excited to experience highschool in the USA. Dances, sports, shopping, American food and many other dreams. They have their own health insurance, money for personal items, activities, have good grades and speak English. Contact me today to find out more information and ask questions. This is such an amazing experience.

Would you consider hosting an exchange student for the 2026/2027 school year!?

I work with CETUSA as a Local Coordinator and we are looking for loving host families who are willing to open their hearts and homes to an exchange student.

Hosting is a chance to share your family life, learn about another culture, and make memories that last a lifetime.

✔️ What host families provide:
• A warm and welcoming home 🏡
• An additional bed & study space 🛌
• An extra setting at the table 🍽️
• Some local transportation 🚗

✔️ What students bring:
• Full insurance coverage 🏥
• Their own spending money 💵
• Eagerness to learn about American 🇺🇸culture!

If you’ve ever thought about hosting, now is the perfect time. Message me for more details—I can’t wait to start this journey with you!! 💫

We have both girls and boys from various countries excited to spend time in America, learn about the schools here and see the sights and sounds.
