International Experience-Clarksville

International Experience-Clarksville Host Family Community Group This group is about educating local residents of Clarksville Tennessee on the International Experience Program. Amazing, right?

International Experience is a Department of Safety-approved international exchange placement organization. What would it be like to welcome a student from a different country with different cultures, traditions, and perspectives into your home? This organization might be a fit for you if you desire to expand your outreach, give back, or want to try something you've never had the courage to do. Thi

s is for a person or family who may be interested in giving of their time and resources to accept an international teenager into their home and provide them the opportunity to experience our beautiful city and state. The program truly allows for the student and hosting family to gain a family abroad. An opportunity of a lifetime! This program is perfect for all families: single persons, single-parent households, two-parent households, big families, empty-nesters, individuals who've chosen not to have children, and/or retirees. Reach out if you would like more information.

I've still got several kiddos looking for a home away from home for the 2026-2027 school year. Can I count you in?

What the application process looks like? Seriously, can be completed in 3-4 hours, except for the family interview - we have to schedule that for an in-person meeting.

+A criminal background check
+Pictures of the common spaces of your home and the student's area (does not have to be their own room - they can share with a gender and age appropriate host sibling).
+Information on the family's diet, lifestyle, habits, etc.
+A letter from your family to your student.
+3 non-family references
+Host family Interview by me!

Hey yโ€™all! Iโ€™m looking for a host family for Bastian, an incoming 11th grade exchange student arriving late July/early August for the full American high school experience!

Bastian is flexible, open-minded, active, and excited to become part of a family here in the U.S. ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ‹๏ธโ€โ™‚๏ธ Heโ€™d especially love a home that enjoys healthy eating, staying active, and maybe even hitting the gym together.

๐Ÿพ A cat-free home is required.
๐Ÿก All thatโ€™s needed is a loving family and an extra bedroom

Soโ€ฆ where are my weightlifting families at?! ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ’ฅ

Hosting is an unforgettable experience and a chance to make a lifelong international connection right from your home. ๐ŸŒŽโค๏ธ

๐ŸŒ Would you open your home to a student dreaming of the American high school experience? ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธโœจ

Hosting an exchange student is simpler than most people think โ€” and incredibly rewarding. โค๏ธ

As a host family, you provide:
๐Ÿก A bedroom
๐Ÿฝ๏ธ A seat at your dinner table
๐Ÿš— Reasonable transportation to school and activities

Your student comes with:
โœ”๏ธ Their own spending money
โœ”๏ธ Medical insurance
โœ”๏ธ Clothing and personal expenses covered
โœ”๏ธ Airport travel arranged to and from the U.S.

๐Ÿ“š Students attend public school on J-1 Visas for one academic school year.
โœ”๏ธ All host families are carefully vetted and approved according to U.S. Department of State standards
โœ”๏ธ Monthly check-ins are conducted with both the student and host family to ensure support, compatibility, and compliance throughout the year

What they really need is a welcoming home and a family willing to share everyday life, traditions, laughter, and memories. ๐Ÿ’›

Sweet interaction of the day to share...I took a student of mine and my daughter prom dress shopping today. The ladies at the shop we went to were so kind. They could not get over how polite, respectful, thankful, and sweet my girls were. Proud momma/LC moment there. Never assume you know what an international student will behave like. They will make a profound difference in your life and the community in which you live. Try it and see for yourself.

I was a proud momma bird today.

It is that exciting time of year where we start selecting families and pairing them with their new family member! Have you thought about hosting an exchange student? ๐Ÿ’ซ Do it. So rewarding.

A host family provides a safe, stable home, a bed, closet space, a place to study and a seat at the table for their student. The community provides a school to attend and enjoy. The student provides their own spending money, sports and activities money, and travel expenses.

What's preventing you from exploring this rewarding experience? ๐Ÿค”
