Forte International Exchange Association (FIEA) is seeking host families for visiting international students aged 15 – 17 years old from countries such as Brazil, Norway, China, and Germany for a semester or academic year.
FIEA is a non-profit organization who has offered the opportunity for academic and cultural exchange to international high school students who would like to come to the United States on a J-1 Visa since 2000.
Host families should be married or single adults at least 25 years of age with or without children and be able to provide a room or shared room, three meals a day, loving support and a desire to share American culture and learn about a new one.
Each host family selects a student that best fits in with their own.
FIEA’s exchange students are some of the brightest: the criteria for their student selection includes qualifying their English and academic ability, maturity and flexibility and a desire to promote cross-cultural understanding.
All Forte students speak English, bring their own money for personal expenses and are fully medically insured.
To learn more about becoming a host family contact FIEA, area director Tiffany Kanally at 509-979-2693, or email at [email protected].
