Are you interested in turning your home into an international home? Hosting an international student in your home gives your family the enriching opportunity to live with someone from another country.
You share the American experience and learn about another culture at the same time. Students are coming from Brazil, Venezuela, Kosovo, Germany, France, and China.
The responsibilities of a host family include providing three meals per day (if the student wants to take lunch from home, they are responsible for campus & off campus meals) and a place to sleep and study. The student can share a bedroom with a same-gender child of similar age.
The students speak English, have their own spending money (for lunch, extracurricular activities, clothing, etc) and their own health insurance.
Deadline for placement in Wake County is July 30.

International exchange students still need homes for the 2010-'11 school year.
