Short-Term Host Families Wanted

We need volunteer host families for 34 students ages 14-18 who will be coming to the area this summer from Spain. 

The program is a bit different from a typical study abroad program in that it is immersion based. This means that the students will not attend classes. Rather, they will practice their English through everyday communication. While the students will have field trips/excursions twice a week, most of the time will be spent with their host families. Therefore, we would like to place the students with families where at least one parent or teenager will be home (or otherwise spending time with the Spanish student) most of the time. The students will be in the Kirkland/Redmond area for approximately four weeks this July 7- August 2. Host families are asked to provide a bed, three meals a day, and light transportation. 

This is a wonderful opportunity for students to make a lifelong friend while learning more about the Spanish language and culture.
