Experience the world right here at home. Host families are needed for short-term exchange students from France and Spain who will stay in the Redmond area July 8-Aug. 3.

The students will attend classes and activities from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. weekdays at Redmond Junior High School. Evenings and weekends are

spent with your family practicing English and experiencing American life.

Another group, coming July 1-27, will not attend classes but will have two or three activities per week.

Host families are asked to provide room, board, and most importantly relationships with the exchange students.

EF Homestay Program is a non-profit organization which has brought exchange students to the Redmond area for the past five years.

Many life-changing relationships have been formed over the years. Hosting exchange students is an opportunity to connect with another culture and share your own.
