World Heritage International Student Exchange Programs (WHISEP) is currently looking for Host Families for exchange students who will be attending local high schools in the upcoming 2025-26 school year. Being familiar with the school system, WHISEP believes local families understand the value that an exchange student brings to the student body.
The organization would like to extend an invitation to families to consider hosting an exchange student. Additionally, if you know of any outstanding families in your community who would make great host families, WHISEP would greatly appreciate any referrals.
WHISEP strongly believes that student exchange programs contribute to world peace at a grassroots level, and host families play a crucial role in achieving that. World Heritage students are all high school age (15-18) and come to the United States with their own insurance and spending money, eager to learn about America through their host family and the local community.
Whether you are a young family, retired, a single parent or empty nesters, hosting one of these students from countries like France, Italy, Ukraine, Denmark and many others presents an extraordinary opportunity to personally experience their cultures and values while simultaneously sharing your own knowledge about the United States.
To get a glimpse of some of the hopeful students who are eagerly waiting to be matched with their host families, visit www.host.world-heritage.org to view their profiles and read some of their captivating letters. These students are genuinely grateful to you and the USA for giving them the chance to live with local families and become part of your community for a year.
Those interested can submit an application at www.db.asse.com/hfa2/index/company/asse/ and the organization will be in touch to address any questions you may have.
World Heritage believes that together, we can change the world, one exchange at a time.
