About 5 years ago we had 5 exchange students, one of those was a girl from Japan. During her inbound orientation in early September, she said maybe 3 words and only if asked. A very shy and quite person. In October, we took the exchange students to the Texas State Fair. Expecting our Japanese girl to be shy and might need some help in fitting in on this event we were blown away to have her talking up a storm with our Austrian exchange student. Rotary Youth Exchange is amazing program that is enjoyable & enlightening for both the student and host family!
We need a host families for an inbound exchange student, a girl arriving from France in late August! If you happen to know these previous host families, Bill Moser, Fritzie Roop and Toni Collins, you know that their time hosting has been very positive.
The commitment is:
. Approximately 4 months of hosting the student
These are high school aged students 16 - 18 years old
Students arrive in late August
Ideally each student would have 2 host families
We like to move the student in the January/February timeframe to the next host family
