International Exchange programs would not exist without the generosity of Volunteer Host Families. This week, we celebrate the Volunteer Host Families that welcome exchange students into their homes across the US. These volunteer host families are the catalysts who make international connections, promote cultural awareness, and build global competence in their communities. We are grateful for their time and generosity. International exchange students contribute to creating stronger, more connected communities and best of all, they create life-long international friendships. Thank you for welcoming exchange students into your homes. Share a picture of your volunteer host families in the comments and thank them for welcoming exchange students into their homes!
