Dancing because it’s a new school year! 💃🪩

Connecting exchange students with great host families is only part of the fun - in fact, it’s just the beginning of what we hope will be an amazing year together 🎉

Current students and host families - we want to hear from you! What are some of the most fun or special parts of your International Experience so far?

Student exchange is one big adventure - and what better way to kick off an unforgettable year in the U.S. than with some white-water rafting on the Ocoee River? 🌊🇺🇸
 
Thanks to Local Coordinator Chrissy for organizing this fun adventure! No one understands the ups and downs of being an exchange student quite like another exchange student - and we love seeing students build friendships through shared memories with one another throughout their exchange year. 💖
 
Here’s to new friends, new experiences, and plenty more adventures along the way! ❤️

Okay, but real talk - does Fall 2025 (when Lara🇩🇪 arrived to the U.S.) feel like yesterday to anyone else?! 
 
A year full of memories created, relationships built, and life lessons learned goes by in the blink of an eye! 
 
2026-27 students and host families . . . this is your sign to be present and soak in this time. It won’t last forever, but luckily, you get to take the memories and friendships with you forever. 💖

Could you be the family Victoria needs? We're looking for a kind, welcoming home for her! 🏠💕

Victoria is a sweet 14-year-old from Spain with a big heart and an even bigger love of music. She plays piano and guitar, sings, gets lost in books, and dreams of becoming a midwife someday so she can help bring new life into the world.

She uses a wheelchair, so we're hoping to find a family with an accessible home...and the room in their hearts to welcome her in. 💞

Victoria is ready to become part of a family, share her story, and make memories that last a lifetime. She just needs someone to open the door.

If that could be you, please reach out. We'd love to talk with you about giving Victoria a home this year!

Each of these boys deserves the chance to live out their American dream year, but they can't do it without a family willing to open their home. Could that be you?

Franciszek, 16 (Poland): A social, driven kickboxer and swimmer with a passion for science and medicine. He'd rather be out making memories with friends than sitting at home.

Levi, 14 (Germany) — Independent, curious, and cheerful, Levi loves volleyball, table tennis, cooking, and painting. He recently completed a sewing course and is a big dog lover.

Yin, 16 (Taiwan) — A bookworm and club president who loves Dickens, Oscar Wilde, piano, basketball, and music of all kinds.
