Make An American Dream Come True
St. Louis Host Families Sought for International Students
This article is 12 years old. It was published on March 1, 2013.
Aspect Foundation International is inviting St. Louis families to consider hosting international high school students for a semester or academic year. The students hail from nearly 30 different countries, but all share the same dream -- to experience the American way of life. The students, who would arrive in August, are aged 15 to 18 and have a wide variety of interests and abilities. They are chosen for the Exchange Student Program on the basis of maturity, grades, and language skills.
Host families may be married or single, with or without children. Host families are responsible for providing room, board and a loving home environment for the student. In return, host families and exchange students learn about another culture firsthand and gain a second family for life. Potential host families can choose their own student by viewing student profiles on the AspectFoundation.org web site.
Aspect is a non-profit organization that was founded in 1985 and is dedicated to excellence in youth exchange. If you would consider becoming a host family, contact local International coordinator Lois Ann Stover at (314) 454-6913, or the Aspect Foundation national office at 1-800-US-YOUTH.
