Across our communities and around the world, two small but mighty nonprofit organizations — Face The World and the NW Services PEACE Program — are creating life-changing opportunities through high school cultural exchange. Both programs connect international students with caring host families right here at home.
Hosting Your Home Creator
These students come eager to learn, share their culture, and become part of an American family for a semester, a full school year, or even a short 3-month fall placement. In return, host families gain something priceless: a global connection, lifelong friendships, and a deeper understanding of the world without ever leaving their home.
As small nonprofit organizations, our mission is personal. We focus on meaningful relationships, strong local support, and ensuring both students and host families feel guided every step of the way. We believe cultural exchange builds empathy, leadership, and confidence in young people — shaping futures and strengthening communities.
Hosting doesn’t require a special lifestyle — just an open heart and a willingness to welcome a student as part of your family. Students have their own spending money and health insurance. Families provide a safe home, meals, and inclusion in everyday life.
Together, we are working to make the world smaller, kinder, and more connected — one family at a time. If you or someone you know can host a high school exchange student for a semester, school year, or 3 months this fall, please contact: Lasha at 970-324-6303.
