At SHARE!, we connect international high school students with caring volunteer host families across the U.S. By opening your home, you’re not just providing a place to stay—you’re sharing traditions, creating lifelong friendships, and making a difference in a young person’s life.
We’re in search of host parents for teens from Europe, South America, Africa and Asia who hope to come to the U.S.A. and attend your local high school for the upcoming school year or semester.
You can choose to host just for the first few weeks, or the student’s entire stay. Families big and small, couples or singles are all enthusiastically welcomed as hosts!
Becoming a host is a unique volunteer opportunity that will energize your home and create meaningful memories and relationships for the rest of your life!
I have hosted 4 students thru Share! High School Exchange Program over the last 5 years. I absolutely love this company and my students. I am still in contact with my exchange kids to this day. If you have the love for kids and want to make a difference. You will not regret becoming a host family.Attached is a picture of my most recent exchange son Jonas from Germany and myself.
My family has been hosting exchange students for over 14 years, while I have made many memories with all our students, my favorite exchange student was by far Alessia from Italy! SHARE help me form a bond that will last forever! I consider her my sister and I miss her every day!
If you ask how many children we have, the current answer is 14! Four of our own plus 10 amazing kids who are forever connected to us! Not only do we build relationships with these kids, we gain families across the world. This is probably the best crazy thing our family has decided to do—couldn’t imagine our lives without all of our kids! And the support from our coordinator (Adriana) and the organization has made the process so easy and no stress.
We were first time exchange program hosts last year and had an amazing experience. SHARE provided guidance and a point of contact throughout the process, making it easy to know what was expected of us. We have gained an additional family member and are planning to visit her in Spain soon to reconnect.
