Exchange students need host families

The goal is to experience culture as an American high schooler does. In return, the exchange students will provide insight for peers into their own culture.
Host families provide a separate bed, family meals and a safe environment. For more information, call Sean at (800) 522-4678, e-mail to seant@stsfoundation.org or visit www.stsfoundation.org.
