Wanted: Host Families
Posted by Jantine Stam
on Sep 10, 2012
Our club is welcoming a youth exchange student from New Zealand in January 2013. Her first host family has been arranged, and we are looking for 2 more host families.
A host family is a vital part of the cultural exchange, immersing the student in a variety of activities while in the host country. The host family plays a large role in offering the student a view of another country and gains the opportunity to learn about a new culture from a young leader.
Hosting is a tremendous experience in which you can share in a young person's hopes and dreams and develop a lifelong connection with a student and family from another country. It can be challenging to help a young person transition to a new culture and ease into surroundings but the rewards are immeasurable.
Host families in the Youth Exchange Program come in all shapes and sizes. They can be Rotarians or non-Rotarians, and may include young children, older children, or no children at all.
If you would like to apply for this rewarding opportunity, please contact Jantine Stam jtstam@hotmail.com, 519 788 7826. If you would like to speak to a couple who have hosted before, we can easily arrange for that.
