Host Families Needed
Would you and your family like to experience first hand the richness and diversity of a culture different then your own? Would you like to do your part in promoting world peace? Evergreen Rotary is currently recruiting three host families from the Evergreen Community to host a high school foreign exchange student for approximately three months of the 22-23 school year. Hosting a foreign exchange student with a short term commitment can be extremely rewarding! Everyday routine becomes lively as we share our holiday's, weekends and our culture with a foreign student and they share their culture with us. Life long friendships are developed! If you are interested in this awesome opportunity please contact:
Scott White, Youth Exchange Officer for Evergreen Rotary at scott@denvermachine.com or on his phone at 303-503-3882.
