Open your home to an international high school exchange student

Can you open your home to an international exchange student from China or Latin America for the 2010 school year?

P.E.A.C.E., a Christian-based student exchange program designated by the U.S. Department of State is seeking families in Carbon and Schuylkill Counties to host international high school students for six months to a year beginning in January, 2010.

Host families provide room and board. The student's families cover all other expenses.

All students and host families are pre-screened by P.E.A.C.E., the Pro-American Educational and Cultural Exchange program headquartered in New Philadelphia, PA.

"By opening up your home and your hearts to these students, you can make a difference in promoting intercultural understanding in your community and make friends for a lifetime!" said Richard Page, Director of P.E.A.C.E.
