Host an International High School Exchange Student (Shelbyville, KY)
About the role
ERDT/SHARE! is a global non‑profit educational foundation that has been providing international student exchange services to host families and international teens since 1974. The SHARE! High School Exchange Program seeks caring individuals and families to host international exchange students for a semester or a full school year. Students (ages 14‑18) come from countries such as France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Poland, Japan, South Korea, China, Brazil, Mexico, and many others. They speak English, have comprehensive medical insurance, bring spending money for personal expenses, and are carefully screened before arriving in the United States. Host families provide a home, support the student’s attendance at a local high school, and share American family life while learning about the student’s culture and traditions.
