Might there be some great folks involved with your organization who are interested in opening their hearts and homes to one of our impressive exchange students for the current or upcoming program year? Get the word out to those involved with your organization.

In turn, we’ll donate $150 to your cause for every new-to-PAX* U.S. family who goes on to host a PAX student through this effort or the word of mouth it may generate. It’s a win-win—not least of which for the volunteer host family who enables a student to realize their American dream!
