ASSE International Student Exchange Program (ASSE) is looking for local families to open their homes to boys and girls from a variety of countries around the world, with a wide variety of backgrounds and personal interests. These students are between the ages of 15 and 18 years of age and are academically selected into the program.

These students come with an enthusiasm to live and learn the American culture, while getting to practice their English. They will also share their own culture with you. Host families welcome these students into their home & family, not as a guest, but as a family member, giving both the students and the families a rich cultural experience.

In addition, students have pocket money for personal expenses; and full health, accident, and liability insurance. Host families can choose their students.

To become a host family or to find out how to become involved with ASSE in your community, please call our Area Representative, Lisa Myers (269) 362-2370 or email ellesbellesrides@hotmail.com to begin your experience today. There are many students to choose from, so begin the process of welcoming your new son or daughter into your family today.
