find 200 families and schools
across Canada to host next year's
group of carefully selected students
from as many as 30 different coun-
tries. After ten years of experience
in the exchange field, the organiza-
tion is convinced of the merits of
its program - one which brings the
world closer together, a person at a
time.
• "Despite its long-term objec-
tives, this program has the benefit
of offering immediate rewards," ex-
plains one of Interculturc Canada's
volunteers in the region. "These
students are so willing to learn and
end up shedding new light on this
wonderful country and world of
ours."
All family types are invited to
Participate: two parents with chil-
dren, single -parent families,
young, older or childless couples.
Sensitive student -family matching
procedures are followed to ensure a
harmonious climate for exchange.
The student, in fact, becomes a
member of the family which turns
the year together into a learning
experience that's worthwhile for
everyone.
Host families are not expected to
absorb any expenses for the student
beyond the food, housing and inci-
dental expenses they would for
their own teenager. Both family
and student benefit from the sup-
port of Interculture Canada staff
and volunteers throughout the ex-
perience.
