As the president and CEO of a nonprofit organization that is a leader in international high school student exchange in the United States, I have seen first-hand the lifelong impact people experience when students from other countries spend a year with an American host family, becoming a member of a community while studying in high school.
I’ve worked in the field of high school student exchange for well over 35 years, and I am still inspired daily by the transformations that occur — not only in the lives of exchange students, but in the people who host them.
