This group came about as a result of a recent career move for me. Several months ago, I joined an international non-profit organization and have fallen in love with the idea of promoting global awareness via international student exchange. Whether you have hosted an exchange student in the past, are currently hosting, or have been thinking about it - this group is for you!

The intent here is to provide a safe and comfortable environment where we may all get together and discuss those wonderful relationships that developed as a result of your decision to bring a foreign exchange student into your home. I've already heard many stories of life-long friendships being created. We all deserve a community to share those stories. And, for those families out there who are just now hosting (or have been thinking about it) – There is only one way to get a true sense of what is to be expected from a Host Family – Meetup and talk about it with other families out there!

This group is for any/all who may be interested in sharing stories, or learning, about international student exchange. Let's get together and talk about our experiences and how we can share our America while learning something from our exchange students, too!
