Cultural Homestay International (CHI), a non-profit high school organization is looking for volunteer local host families for international high school students, ages 15 to 18 years of age who are coming for the second semester of the 2016-17 school year and the full 2017-18 school year. These personable and academically select high school students speak some English, are bright, curious and anxious to improve their communication skills.

These students look forward to living as part of a family, attending high school and sharing their own culture and language with their newly adopted host family.

Each CHI student is fully insured, brings his/her own spending money and expects to contribute to his/her share of household responsibilities, as well as being included in family activities and lifestyles.

Families can choose from a wide variety of backgrounds, nationalities and personal interests.
