Host families needed for 53 Catholic exchange students

Catholic host families, with or without children, are needed to host Catholic international exchange students for the upcoming school year. The exchange students speak English, are covered by medical insurance and have spending money for their personal expenses.

"Host families are volunteers and are asked to provide a bed, meals, as well as friendship, understanding and a genuine desire to share the American Catholic way of life with a Catholic youngster from overseas," said Yvette Coffman, Southwest Regional Administrator for "SHARE! High School Exchange Program."

Students must be placed by Aug. 31 or they will not be allowed to participate in the program.

"We have so many wonderful Catholic students who have requested a Catholic host family. We would like to accommodate these requests as a student and host family that share core religious beliefs have a wonderful foundation for a successful exchange experience," Coffman said.
