Someone I know is in an exchange program and they are over here in the U.S. from another country. They stay with a different family every two weeks. My question is: Am I able to offer temporary housing to this person or do I have to be with the program? We're willing to get checked out by the company, but not officially join...
Please, no assumptions. I want definite answers.
Contact the exchange program's local agent. Your friend certainly will have their number, and speak to them about exploring the possibility of hosting a student. Some organizations might be delighted to have a family participate in this way, others might require total participation. You never know unless you ask.
Even if this practicular company is not interested in your family hosting, there would likely be another out there that as. Do some online research or speak to your teachers or guidance counselor for leads. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
