Had a great time in STL with Areej, Gunee and Julio! We visited the farmer's market in Tower Grove Park, Jay's International foods, the Gelateria and White Castle!

There are still many scholarship students hoping to be selected for the upcoming school year!

These students are "cream of the crop", having gone through a very competitive, rigorous application and interview process.

Families of all shapes and sizes are encouraged to apply to host!!

Give a deserving student the gift of sharing your America for one school year! FLEX scholarship students go through a rigorous application and selection process. Only about 2-3% of applicants are granted scholarships out of nearly 30,000!

These high school students are very deserving and would be so appreciative to be selected by your family!

Happy Friday! I just wanted to reach out and let everyone know that I will be stepping back from the area coordinator position and returning to the area representative position. I am still here and available for anyone who needs me. I truly enjoy the people I've encountered in this position. My other job has just taken so much of my time and I want to be sure everyone is well cared for!

Any Illinois students, families and representatives will now be working with Katelynn Kohlmeier. Missouri students, families and representatives will be working with Shannon Pool.

Both of these ladies are crazy, fun friends and are passionate about the exchange program! I'll be working with them to help ensure a smooth transition.

I hope to see many of you at our Springfield trip in April!
