Volunteer Host Families

ISE invites you to welcome an international student into your home for a few weeks. You’ll be glad you did!

Every summer, American high school students have the opportunity to host a student from another country for three to five weeks. These students seek to improve their English skills and to experience what life is like in the United States. The visitors are between 14 and 18 years old. While their individual interests vary, most are pretty "typical" teenagers. All have studied English in school, most for several years.

ISE currently seeks host families who live within driving distance
of the following cities:

• Anchorage
• Chicago
• Cleveland
• Denver
• Detroit
• Milwaukee
• Minneapolis
• Seattle
• St. Louis
