HOST FAMILIES NEEDED

SHARE! America Program is seeking host families for foreign high school students who will arrive mid-January from Germany, Brazil, Poland and the former Soviet Union.

The students, all between the ages of 15 and 18, will live with host families and attend local high schools for an academic year or semester. They speak English and arrive with everything they will need, such as spending money and medical insurance. The host family provides an extra plate at the dinner table, a comfortable bed, and warmth and laughter.

Interested families are able to review student applications and select the student that best matches their own interests. The local SHARE! coordinator provides information about the program during an informal, in-home meeting.

The program is sponsored by Educational Resource Development Trust, a non-profit educational foundation, celebrating 22 years of experience in cultural exchange.

Families who are interested in hosting or obtaining more information should call the Central States Regional Office at 1-800-715-3738.
