Consider hosting a U.S. Department of State-sponsored high school exchange student! These students have been selected for the Youth Exchange and Study (YES) program and offered scholarships to attend Barrie School (13500 Layhill Rd, Silver Spring, MD). Could you help welcome one of these students to DC or MD this August?

Hosting is a great opportunity for any kind of family: large/small, with/without children, young/old. Students require a safe environment, bed (can share a room with another teen), and three meals/day. Students have medical insurance, a $200 monthly stipend, and support from American Councils.
