USAImmersion, a local not-for-profit organization, is bringing international students (ages 13 to 17 years old) from Spain and France to our community for a Total Immersion experience with our American families.
Why should your family consider hosting this summer?
• It’s a great cross-cultural experience to help your family gain a deeper understanding of other cultures.
• Children like to have a new housemate and the experience may result in unique friendships that last a lifetime.
• Hosting international students can be mentioned in resumes and college applications to demonstrate intercultural experience.
• All international students are recommended by their teachers and must be in good academic standing to participate in this program.
Host families’ responsibilities are to treat students like members of their families and include them in daily chores and family activities so they can get to know our American way of life and improve their English. Time commitment is 4 weeks or less in the month of July. There is an available Food and Transportation Fund that provides a $500 stipend to those families participating in the program. In return, families have the opportunity to learn about another country, language, food, habits and culture.
