Host Families

I am interested in hosting. Begin my application now.

It goes without saying that the Rotary Youth Exchange Program could not exist were it not for the willingness of families to open their homes to students they have never met.   It is not necessary to be a Rotarian, to be married, nor to have children at home to be a host family for an exchange student.

Embrace a foreign high school student into your family!

  • Student attends your local high school – school expenses covered by Rotary
  • Host families provide room and board and family support
  • Student receives a monthly stipend from the Rotary club, and natural parents pay necessities such as clothing and medical insurance
  • Share your family traditions and our American culture, and learn about theirs
  • “Host families” may be empty-nesters, single parents, those with young children. It is not necessary to be a Rotarian, to be married, nor to have children at home to be a host family for an exchange student.

 Host 3.5 - 4 months during these (flexible) timeframes:

  • Early August – Thanksgiving
  • Thanksgiving – February
  • March – mid-June
