Greenheart High School Exchange is looking for warm-hearted host families for the upcoming fall semester. It's time to welcome a new family member into your home and embark on an unforgettable journey together!
Why should you host with us?
Hosting an exchange student with Greenheart is an unparalleled opportunity to immerse yourself in different cultures and traditions right in your home. Form lifelong connections and friendships with students from around the globe, enriching your family's life and expanding your worldview. Hosting promotes global understanding and creates positive experiences for your family and the student, fostering mutual growth and learning.

Many families find hosting an advantageous experience, creating cherished memories and meaningful bonds that last a lifetime.
No matter your family's composition - whether you're single, married, have kids, or are empty nesters - there's a place for you in our host family community. Your unique lifestyle and perspective can profoundly impact a student's life.
As a volunteer host family, you'll provide meals, transportation, and a comfortable bed for your students, creating a welcoming environment where they can be part of your family!
Ready to embark on this incredible journey with us? Don't miss the chance to make a difference and create lasting memories for your family and your students. Apply now to become a host family!
