Host families needed for exchange students

The nonprofit World Heritage Student Exchange Program is looking for local host families for high school boys and girls from Scandinavia, France, Germany, Italy, Thailand, China, South Korea and the former Soviet republics.

Host families provide room, board and guidance for a teenager. Couples, single parents and families with or without children in the home are encouraged to apply.

The exchange students arrive shortly before the start of this coming school year. Each World Heritage student is fully insured, brings personal spending money and expects to take part in household responsibilities and to be included in normal family activities.

If you are interested in opening your home to a young person from abroad, call Christie Seumalo at 360-773-8839. More information is at World Heritage.
