Lakeland FL Exchange Student Host Families

08/10/2024

Our Nico (French exchange student from last year) is here visiting for a few weeks. He tells me his English is really bad from not practicing, I’m going to agree with him… Gosh I love this kid…

Good afternoon!

I am reaching out to see if any of you would be available to host for a second group in Lakeland. I have a group of students that I need to move, due to some unforeseen circumstances. Since Lakeland is our first group, this allows for a second group.

Group 1: June 20th-July 9th

Group 2: July 11th-July 29th or 30th.

The second group would be between a junior group from China (ages 10-14) OR another group from France/Guadeloupe/Martinique (ages 13-17).

For anyone is able to host for group 2, we would offer $200 grocery gift card (your store of choice) and you would receive your additional passport point towards the travel program. Please reply to let me know if you are available. WE APPRECIATE YOU AND are excited for Lakeland to be our first group for the summer, as I know it will set the bar very high. 😊
