Host Family Needed for Rotary Exchange Student

Hosting an Exchange Student is a great way to learn about another culture, make friends from another country, and expand one’s horizons.  It is also a less expensive and less intimidating alternative to sending your own children abroad, while still providing an opportunity to learn about the world.  It is a rewarding way for you and your family to contribute to your community, your country, and the world!

The Jackson Hole Rotary Club's Youth Exchange Committee is seeking a host family for one of our exchange students here in Jackson.  Our male student from Italy is in need of a host family from September until January and January until June.  He is a competitive downhill skier and is very excited to be placed here in Jackson Hole for the school year. The ideal family would have children in the home, (of any age), and would live in Jackson where he would have access to the start bus or other transportation.  Families do not need to have extra bedrooms or provide the student with money.  They do need to be willing to open their home to a student who is here to learn about America.  If you are interested, please contact Mary MacLeod Bess at 699-1098 or send an email to rafting@mad-river.com.  Or, contact Jason Snider by email at rjs@agrostisinc.com.
