Exchange student program seeks host families

Residents in Western Connecticut who are looking to host an international exchange student are being sought as host families for the Council on Educational Travel USA.  Local coordinator Nancy Hershatter says the program is for high school students aged 15 through 18 to attend an American high school for a semester or a year.  They have come to the U.S. from over 40 countries as diverse as Thailand and Finland, Denmark, Spain and China. 

 

The Council on Educational Travel USA also administers an outbound program. 

 

Hershatter says hosting an international exchange student is a great way to grow in a shrinking world.  She says the only requirement is that volunteers have a nurturing home and a family open to learning about another culture.

 

More information can be found on the organization's website or by emailing nancy.cetusa@gmail.org.  Hershatter will also be at Rumor's Cafe, 22 Mill Plain Road, between 3 and 5 PM on Saturday, April 18.
