When you look back on your life, are you going to reflect on a valuable experience that expanded your horizons and possibly changed the life of a young person? Hosting an international high school student is the perfect opportunity for your family to gain a new perspective of the world. The international student gains invaluable experience in serving as an “ambassador” of his/her country and a personalized understanding of American culture and history.

CIEE is 60 years old and has 1,300 students from 55 countries placed in high schools throughout the U.S. CIEE provides support to hosts, students, and schools throughout the entire exchange process. To be a host, one has to provide breakfast, dinner, a quiet place to study and bed. All of the students are carefully screened, speak English, are fully insured, and have monthly spending money. Being a host isn't as complicated as you may think and many former host families are available to share their very positive feedback with you. If you are interested in learning more about CIEE's exchange program, please contact Stephanie Kip, NJ Local Coordinator at esjaykip1@netzero.com, 973-271-5549 or visit CIEE’s website at www.ciee.org.
