looking for families to host foreign exchange students

Hi. My name is Pat and I work for a non-profit international student exchange organization, Youth for Understanding (YFU). I am trying to find host families for high school international students for the 2007-2008 school year.

Hosting is a lot of fun! It is one of the best ways to learn about another culture. Since many families create lifelong relationships with the students they host, the experience is incredibly rewarding. I can place students anywhere in Illinois. The students all have their own spending money and health insurance. All families need to provide is a loving home.

You can check the validity of YFU at www.yfu-usa.org.

I would love to share more information with your group.

Thank you for your time!
