Cultural Homestay International is a State-Department recognized student exchange program based in San Anselmo, CA. Since 1984, we have brought thousands of international students to the US to study in our local high schools and experience American life and culture. We are currently seeking families to host students starting in the Fall of 2009. These students are selected for our program based on high academic achievement, strong English abilities, and interest in American culture. Host families are eligible for a modest $50/month tax deduction, but the real rewards are intangible: exposing your family to another culture, sharing your home and family life with a visitor from abroad, and making a personal investment in global cooperation and understanding.

Host families come in all styles and forms, but they are all part of the process that leaves students and families feeling culturally enriched with a larger picture of the world.
