How will our family be selected to host an exchange student?
The selection process may vary depending on the exchange organization with which the student is associated. In all cases, many factors are taken into account when placing a participant with a host family. Organizations do their best to match host family members’ interests to the students’ interests, taking into account the host families input. It is impossible to find the “perfect” placement but organizations do look for common interests and values between the family and the participant that will help the two establish bonds more quickly.
