I hope this message finds you well! I’m reaching out from American Councils for Interntional Education, which facilitates international student exchange programs. We are currently seeking host families for students arriving for the upcoming academic year. We have Returned Peace Corps Volunteers hosting and it was suggested we share this opportunity with your group!

Given your focus on advancing the cause of volunteerism for the betterment of the world and the community and providing an opportunity for volunteerism in South Florida and the world, I wanted to see if we might share this opportunity with your members. We have available students from around the world who may be of particular interest!

Would it be possible to share a brief message with your members about hosting? See below for the message that would be shared:

American Councils is excited to announce hosting opportunities for international high school exchange students in communities across the U.S.! We are seeking welcoming host families for students from countries such as Bangladesh, Pakistan, Indonesia, Kyrgyzstan, Türkiye, and more!

These exceptional students have been awarded prestigious, merit-based scholarships. They are proficient in English, academically motivated, and eager to experience American culture while sharing their own with your community.  

By hosting, families have the unique opportunity to:  

  Welcome a student into their home and community.  

  Support a student as they attend an American high school and participate in extracurricular activities.  

  Share American traditions like school dances, Halloween, and Thanksgiving.  

Hosting an exchange student is a rewarding way to foster cultural understanding and global connections. To view available student profiles, visit: https://inbound.americancouncils.org/student-profile

Thank you so much for your consideration and I look forward to connecting with you!
