This hosting experience offers a great opportunity to learn first-hand about another culture and to share one’s life with a student who is eager to discover life in America.
Among the students who will be coming to Vermont are boys and girls from Spain, Germany, Italy, China, Japan, and Thailand, as well as many other countries. The students are between the ages of 15 and 18 and have studied English for at least three years. PAX is happy to help select students who fit a host family’s interests and lifestyle.
The main requirement for host families is to be warm, welcoming and willing to share their daily life with the student. Young couples, single parents, and retirees are encouraged to apply. Students do not need a private bedroom. Students have spending money for personal expenses, as well as medical insurance.
