Bring Italy to Your Home! 

Attention friends – you can make a difference by hosting one of our incredible students from Italy! These teens are packed and ready to start their exchange year, but they can’t come until they have a host family. Could that be you? 

Here’s a little about them:

 Shane (16, boy) – Sweet, thoughtful, and family-oriented. Loves dance, spending time with friends, and dreams of studying abroad.

 Sabrina (17, girl) – Loves card games, board games, basketball, volleyball, tennis, table tennis, music, and movies. Enjoys hanging out with family and friends (and even gaming with her nephews!).

 Georgia (17, girl) – A smiley, competitive, and adventurous teen who loves traveling, good food, and especially volleyball. Dreaming big about sports and university. (Note: allergic to cats and dogs indoors).

 Giulia (17, girl) – Passionate about music, concerts, baking cookies, psychology, and languages. Used to do gymnastics and still enjoys being active.

 Miryam (17, girl) – Curious and driven. Teaches figure roller skating, loves chess, and dreams of becoming a diplomat. Close to her family and grandparents, she values connection as much as adventure.

 Zeno (18, boy) – Outgoing, social, and a basketball fanatic who hopes to play in the U.S.! Loves cinema, American movies, and trying new foods. Always active with basketball, soccer, tennis, and more.

 If you have an extra bed and a seat at your dining table, you likely qualify to host!

The deadline is coming up fast, so please consider giving one of these students the chance to experience life in America – and giving your family the joy of welcoming Italy into your home.
