Have you ever considered hosting a student from another country? What a great experience for the host family!
In order to arrange exchanges in other countries for our local students, we must host students from other countries as well – so host clubs are needed for the coming Rotary year! The students from Beaumont who want to go on an exchange need to have a Beaumont club agree to host an incoming exchange student as well. It is a wonderful experience for everyone who participates in the program – students, host families, schools, and host clubs!
Before we commit our Club's participation in this District program of service, we must secure one to three families who are excited about opening their home and family for an exchange student for a few months of the next school year.
Host families do not need to be Rotarians. If you have a neighbor or friend who might be interested in becoming a host family, please put them in touch with us right away.
If you need more information about what is (and what is not) involved in hosting, please contact Cindy Cherry or Lynn Castle. Lynn and her family have hosted a student before, and she would be happy to share with you what is involved and what you can expect by participating in the experience. Please contact Cindy before the end of February to express your interest too as she is eager to have the Club participate in the program next Rotary year if hosts can be secured.
