ASSE International Student Exchange Programs, in cooperation with high schoosl, is looking for local families to host boys and girls ages 15–18 for the next academic year. Students from all over the world, including Germany, Spain, Italy, Japan, and Ukraine, want to study in the USA, and need homes.

Loving and caring host families are the cornerstone of the program and vital to its mission of bridging the gap between people, cultures, and nations. 

Preparations are underway for the 2024-25 program year and the arrival of new future leaders this coming autumn. ASSE students arrive with an enthusiasm to practice their English and experience American culture -- food, sports, shopping, and more. They also love to share their own culture with their host families – who welcome them not as guests, but as family members – giving both the students and families a rich cultural experience.

In addition, ASSE students have pocket money for personal expenses, along with health, accident, and liability insurance. ASSE students are selected for participation based on academics and good citizenship. Host families can choose their students from a wide variety of backgrounds, countries, and personal interests.

To become a host family, or to find out how to become involved with ASSE, call Shelby at (240) 778-4298 or the ASSE Eastern Regional Office at 1-800- 677- 2773 or go to www.host.asse.com.
