What does it mean? Being a host family requires you to open up your home to a teenager from another country for roughly 3 ½ months. Sharing with them, everything you can, and treating them as a child of your own.
When does it happen? The Rotary Exchange Student will arrive in August 2014, and stay in our community until July 2015. Remember…as a host family the student will only stay with you for about 3 ½ months during this time.
How much does this cost? At a minimum the host family is responsible for providing a safe environment for the student to stay, and three meals a day. The student comes with his own money, and the Rotary Club provides additional funds every month. You are allowed to provide further financial assistance as you are willing or able.
How do I get more information? Any interested families should contact Stephanie Johnson, Rotary Youth Exchange Officer at, 217-781-2144 or [email protected]
