Volunteer Host Families Needed for Foreign Exchange Students

Are you interested in welcoming an international exchange student into your home for the 2022-2023 academic year? We are currently seeking volunteer host families to host a foreign exchange student for one full academic year, or one academic semester. This is a big commitment. But the experience can and has been life-changing for both exchange students and host families. You would: provide a room for the exchange student to sleep in,

provide three meals a day, arrange transportation to and from school, (we waive the bus fee!) act as a sort of personal cultural ambassador, and show the exchange student how wonderful, crazy, and warm and welcoming your family is! Sound like fun?? It is. We are very proud to say that Westford Academy has hosted over 200 international students from 40 countries around the world since 1976. We are successful because of the generous support of our volunteer host families…..Do you want to become one? :-)

For more information or to begin the application process to host in 2022-2023, please contact Tim Welch, WA International Exchange Coordinator, at twelch@westfordk12.us.
