Above and Beyond Education (ABN), a non-profit high school organization, is currently looking for volunteer host families to participate in its high school cultural exchange program.

ABN Education is the leading not-for-profit sponsor of J-1 exchange students and has been working with volunteer host families for international students for over 23 years. ABN Education places students from many countries for semester-long and year-long academic programs.

Students who participate in the ABN Education have their own spending money, are fully insured, and attend local high schools in order to learn more about the American culture, make friends, participate in sports, student activities, volunteer in the local community, and most of all, become a lasting member of your family and community.

Anyone interested in hosting or for more information, contact ABN Education by calling 209-567-2412 or by e-mail arielpdog1@yahoo.com. You can also visit the website, www.aboveandbeyondeducation.com.
