Invite the world into the comfort of your home by hosting one of our bright and energetic international exchange students for the upcoming school year. Students will be traveling thousands of miles to participate in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to live with a very special American family – perhaps your family. The SHARE! High School Exchange Program is cultural exchange at its very best -- people to people and heart to heart.

The exchange students, all between the ages of 15 and 18, arrive in January to attend local high schools for the 2009-2010 spring semester They are screened, academically prepared, and English speaking when they arrive. Students are also covered by medical insurance and bring their own spending money for personal expenses. Families provide a bed, meals, caring home and are able to review student applications to select the student they feel best matches their family’s interests.

The SHARE! Program is sponsored by Educational Resource Development Trust (ERDT), a non-profit educational foundation, celebrating 30 years of experience in cultural exchange. Families who are interested in hosting or obtaining more information should call Yvette Coffman at the SHARE! Southwest Regional Office Toll free at 1-800-941-ERDT (3738) or visit the website at www.sharesouthwest.org.
