CCI is looking for hosts for foreign exchange students going to Lake View High School

The Center for Cultural Interchange (CCI) is looking for volunteers to host an international high school exchange student during this Academic Year.

Students from over 50 countries are excited to become part of an American family- could that be yours?  The exchange program is a fantastic opportunity to learn about another culture, share America with an international student, and make a lifelong friendship in the process!  The students would be attending Lakeview High School, and would surely be thrilled to live in Chicago!  If you are interested in learning more about the exchange program, please contact Megan Bhatia at 312.264.1663 or mbhatia@cci-exchange.org.

You can also visit the CCI website  (www.cci-exchange.org)


If you can’t commit to an entire academic year, but are intrigued – call Megan to explore.  There are lots of other needs.  For instance, could you offer to host short-term  (4-6 weeks) while CCI finds a permanent host family – or perhaps serve as an emergency back-up home if a host family must be out of town for a short period of time?
