Host families sought for exchange students

International high school exchange students are coming to study in the Ventura area during the 2008-09 school year.

These students will integrate themselves into a Ventura-area family with the goal of experiencing American culture as an American high school student does. In turn, they will provide insight into their own culture.

STS Foundation, a nonprofit student exchange organization, will help facilitate these relationships. They have been doing so for the past 20 years and look forward to finding new host families in Ventura and connecting them with exchange students.

The host family provides a separate bed, family meals and a safe environment. Students will have their own spending money and health insurance.

If your family is interested in being a host family, call 800-522-4678 or send an e-mail to lillian@stsfoundation.org. For more information visit http://www.stsfoundation.org.
