SHARE! is looking for volunteer host families to welcome students aged 15 to 18 from countries like Germany, Sweden, China, Brazil, Italy, Japan, Ecuador, and more. As a host, you only need to provide:
Provide a safe, warm, and welcoming space where a student can feel like part of your family.
Offer a bed and three daily meals—simple gestures that make a world of difference.
Share traditions, experiences, and everyday life while introducing them to American culture.
Students speak English, have medical insurance, and bring their own spending money for personal expenses. They attend the local high school for a semester or a full academic year.
The SHARE! Exchange Program Coordinator (EPC) is dedicated to the promotion of world peace and cultural tolerance. As an EPC, you proudly promote SHARE! in your community, the local schools and among prospective host families.
Through a cross-cultural homestay experience, international teens come to communities throughout the United States and attend local public high schools.
The EPC chooses families for these teens and communicates with the local schools so that they are ready for the student’s arrival. During the student’s stay, the EPC meets regularly with the teens and families, helping with adjustments and assisting them in ways to make their cultural exchange the experience of a lifetime for everyone involved!
Commitment, persistence, flexibility, ability to work toward and accomplish established goals. Empathy, humor, understanding of human relationships, particularly those involving teens, counseling/mediation skills and being organized are also important.
SHARE! EPCs are independent contractors and will be issued a 1099 at the end of each calendar year. EPCs receive a Placement Documentation Fee of $250 for each student that they place after all required paperwork is submitted. After the students arrive EPCs are further compensated based on a “per student basis:”
Games, contests, goal acquisition, etc. are all rewarded throughout each cycle of the academic year via cash awards, annual incentive trip points, gift certificates, gifts and other fun and innovative incentives. Learn more about team incentives via the weekly newsletter and e-memo sent to all SHARE! EPCs and Team Leaders.
INCENTIVE POINTS are earned by EPCs per student that they place with a host family. Once 300 points are earned, they can be used to take the Annual SHARE! Incentive Trip OR they can be exchanged for a bonus of $1000, instead. Each year EPCs and other SHARE! team members travel on a 5 day, 4 night overseas adventure.
Past trips have included: Munich, Germany; Paris, France; Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; Warsaw and Krakow, Poland; Merida, Mexico; Tokyo and Kyoto, Japan; Oahu, Hawaii; Hong Kong, Brussels, Belgium and Istanbul, Turkey.
Join your fellow EPCs on the next international adventure, and see the world with your own eyes!
Welcome an exchange student into your home and open your doors to the world. Contact your local SHARE! coordinator to learn how to be part of this exciting adventure.
SHARE! connects international exchange students with caring volunteer host families, bringing the world into homes and communities across the U.S.
