PAX- Academic Exchange looking for Host families in Evansville

Hi Everyone I would like to invite our local families to Share Your America with a high school exchange student from one of 70 European South American Asian or African countries during the upcoming school year. Sponsored by PAX-Program of Academic Exchange (PAX) these students arrive to the U.S. in August. PAX students are 15-18 years old have studied English for at least three years and are motivated to learn more about the U.S. by attending high school and living with a host family. PAX students are eager to experience American activities backyard barbecues birthday celebrations and holidays with their host families. They are covered by comprehensive medical insurance and have their own spending money for incidentals. Volunteer host families provide PAX students with a bed a quiet place to study a seat at the dining table a warm and supportive home environment and encouragement to engage in everyday American life. With their exchange students host families experience such activities through fresh eyes while also learning about the exchange student s country and culture. All types of families single parents young couples retirees and parents with teenagers are welcome to host. Founded in 1990 PAX is a non-profit educational organization and one of a select few U.S. Department of State designated Exchange Visitor Program s chosen to participate in its prestigious U.S. government-sponsored FLEX YES and A-SMYLE programs. Each year more than 1 100 teenagers visit the U.S. as PAX exchange students. For more information call me Liz Webster at 812-480-9636 or visit www.pax.org.
