Iredell County Foreign Exchange Program

Below is information from Teri Kirkpatrick (Local Coordinator for EF foundation) on a foreign exchange student program.  If you are interested and willing to host a foreign exchange student for a short period of time - 6 weeks. And Iredell county schools will accept students until mid-January. 

EF is in need of a couple of families willing to host for up to 6 weeks as a Welcome Family for an exchange student (High School) for January? Currently we have 50 students who must be placed/matched by Dec 31, or they will not be able to come to the USA. The Welcome Family allows us to a) get the student a seat at the local High School b) 6 weeks to find a PERM host family for the remainder of the student's stay.

 PLEASE NOTE: The student will need to be MATCHED with a host family BY December 31 (Last day for Matching). The 2nd semester for Iredell county does not start until January 24, so the student will be here the week before about January18. EF will arrange the exchange student's flights that are best for the Welcome family.

Host families can be families with high school students, families with younger children, singles or 30% of our host families are empty nesters. The host families would provide a room (and they can share with a same sex child), breakfast and dinner and help with after school transportation.

Please let me know if you can help, or if you know anyone willing to host a student for 6 weeks. Christina or Manual are two students needing a host home.

Thanks for your interest in Foreign Exchange in Iredell county schools!
