Do you love learning about new cultures and providing once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to young people?


If your family enjoys meeting new people, exploring new cultures, and helping young people achieve their dreams, then you would make a great host family. Hosting an international student is an amazing opportunity to share your home with an open-minded exchange student who is eager to learn about American culture and family life.

Enumclaw High School has international students scheduled to arrive this fall and is looking for host families to open their homes to an exchange student. Ayusa international students come from over 60 countries and are eager to contribute to the host families and communities they join.

Not only do local schools benefit from the diversity that international students bring, so will your family! You can:

-Share a new language and culture with your family
-Teach a student about American values and traditions
-Increase cultural awareness in your community
-Change the course of a student’s life


Host families invite students into their family for one academic year, providing them with meals and a shared or private bedroom. Your student pays for all other personal expenses while in the U.S. If your family is interested in volunteering to host a student while having a truly rewarding experience for the whole family, please visit www.ayusa.org

 

Ayusa International is a non-profit organization founded in 1981 to promote global learning, leadership, and public diplomacy through foreign exchange programs. You can find us listed in the Better Business Bureau with an A+ Rating.

Hi, Susan and Lou. We do know that our events calendar has issues at the moment with incorrect timesRead More displaying, and our engineering team is at work to correct this. My best suggestion at the moment is to post a comment on an event with the correct time, if you aren't able to go in and edit an event that you previously posted. Our ownership has not changed -- we have been and continue to be a part of the AOL family. Our intent with the new design is to highlight the great content that our users create and share with the community. We know there have been some bumps with our launch and are working diligently to fix them. We hope you'll be patient with us and continue to share on Patch.

I agree the previous version was much better and I am not adjusting well to the new version at all.Read More Its definitely not a better layout. Also have had many problems with the events calendar which may not even be fixable.
