A Non-Profit Educational Program
ARE YOU INTERESTED IN HOSTING A HIGH SCHOOL EXCHANGE STUUDNET?
Forte International Exchange Association is looking for good homes for students from many different countries. Students will be arriving this August to spend five to ten months living with families in your community.
There is no such thing as a typical host family! Single-parent families, retired couples, families with young children, as well as those with teenagers or who are empty-nesters have all had successful hosting experiences. The most important criteria for a FIEA host family are a genuine interest to share the American culture with a foreign teenager and a genuine interest in the well-being of the student.
Each applicant is screened and prepared for the exchange by experienced international staff representatives. Participants are chosen based on their academic achievements, extracurricular activities, adaptability and responsibility. All applicants have completed several years of English instruction prior to their acceptance into FIEA’s program.
FIEA provides each student with medical and liability insurance, and every host family is assigned a local program representative to assist them during the exchange experience.
It is only through the kindness and generosity of families in communities like yours that these young ambassadors will be able to fulfill their dreams!
Students will bring their own spending money to cover such expenses as clothing, school supplies and entertainment. They can share a room. Host families are asked to provide meals and a home environment. While no compensation is paid directly by FIEA to volunteer families, the IRS has authorized families who host for government-designated, non-profit educational exchange programs – such as FIEA – to claim a $50.00 per month charitable contribution deduction on their itemized tax returns.
