If you happen to have an extra room or two in your
apartment, you’ve probably thrown around some ideas in your head as to what to
do with them. Sure, you can turn that spare room into a den or game room, but
there’s a wonderfully fulfilling opportunity for extremely dedicated
individuals.
The ASSE International Student Exchange programs are
currently looking for homes in the Albuquerque area to house international high
school boys and girls between the ages of 15 and 17. All students selected will
be conversant in English, bright, and anxious to learn about the United States
and study at local universities.
In addition, all ASSE students are fully insured and will
have their own personal spending money to contribute towards household
expenses. Families will even have the opportunities to choose students from a
variety of backgrounds, nationalities, and interests.
Here’s some more information on ASSE, courtesy of the
organization’s website:
When you host a foreign
exchange student, your entire family will discover a world of fun and
enlightening adventure. Simply by sharing your home for as little as three
months, a semester or a school year, you will be giving an exceptional young
person from another country the opportunity of a lifetime—to live with your
family and experience the language, customs and culture of our country. In
return, your exchange student will bring to your family a bit of his or her
homeland. Students come from Europe, Asia/Pacific, the Middle East, the
Americas and Africa.
Each year, ASSE and its
affiliates place several thousand students, ages 15 to 18, in host families
like yours throughout the world. ASSE International Student Exchange Programs
invites you and your family to join all the families in our country and
throughout the world in this memorable and valued cultural experience.
