Hiring Time!
Now that placing 23/24 is a wrap, I am focused on building my team. I want to know where you find reps who actually want to put in the work and want to reap the grand benefits of being involved in foreign exchange. The benefits of working with student exchange are many not to mention the travel incentives that you will be offered. If you know someone who is interested please refer them to us and we will be able to place every student a lot faster! Thank you so much!

Enrich your family and change a young person's life by becoming a Welcome Family! 🫂

Host an international student upon their arrival for 6–8 weeks while we work to secure a long-term home for the student in the same community, supported by the ISE's network across the USA!
Have you ever thought of opening your home and your heart to an international student for a short period? 🏡
Not only can you make a significant impact on a young person's life, but it could also be the best thing you'll ever do for yourself and your family!
As a Welcome Family, you'll witness the excitement of a young student experiencing American culture for the first time and, in turn, broaden your own horizons.
Embrace a new culture without leaving home and make their dreams come true! 💭
Contact us to become a Welcome Family and provide a warm and supportive home for an international student during their first weeks in the USA.
Open your doors to the world and create memories that will last a lifetime!
Here's how hosting works:
▶ The exchange student lives as a member of your family (not a guest or boarder), participates in family life, and attends the local high school
▶ Students come with medical insurance and spending money to cover personal expenses like school fees, phone, clothing, etc.
▶ Host families provide room & board and loving parental guidance (and are eligible for a tax deduction)
▶ A Local Coordinator will provide support and assistance to you and your student throughout the hosting experience
▶ You select the student you want to host. We will gladly help you find a student. You can meet our students beforehand and browse for them by country, age, gender, religion, or interests.
Sounds interesting?
➔ We'd love to talk with you!

How do I host a ? Treat them like a family member and not a visitor. But first go to ISEUSA.ORG/host-a-student/ and fill out a hosting form. We have a few more high school students that would like to experience a school year in America!

Hi all! I know I bug about hosting an exchange student a lot, but I will keep doing it because I 💛 EXCHANGE!! Not sure what hosting is like? Please ask!! Even questions like "can my husband still walk around in his underwear" are not THAT uncommon. Now, before you read on, here are the basics:

-Students arrive this August to begin the 2023 school year.
-They have their own spending money, insurance, awesome English, and amazing local support (that's me!).
-All families are welcome, but you must pass background checks because we don't place kids with creeps, and you must be at least 25.
-You can host for a half year or a whole year.
-You must want to include your international teenager in your daily life and treat them like family members.

If all of that works for you, we have some amazing students that WANT to come to California! Shoot me your questions in a PM or give me a call @703-906-3664 and I will do my best to make all of your exchange student hosting dreams come true!!

**Our mission is to promote local diplomacy, understanding, and world peace.**🌎✌️

International Student Exchange is looking to add Area Representatives in the California area to supervise and place Exchange Students.
Supervision includes checking in with the student and host family at least once a month. It’s a really great way to get to know the students and learn about their culture without hosting!

All training is included, you’ll work on an awesome team, and even have the chance to travel to Scotland in November!

This is a remote, independent contractor position. Make your own schedule! It would be a great second job or hobby that makes you some extra money!
