Council on International Educational Exchange (CIEE) is looking for host families for five high school exchange students arriving in Thurston County, for this upcoming academic school year. These students will attend our local public or private high school. With over 63 years of experience in international education, CIEE is the largest and longest running sponsor of exchange programs in the U.S.
As a CIEE host family, you will offer a high school international student the opportunity to discover America through your eyes. Your family will not only gain a new family member, you will also learn about a different culture, its values and traditions, language, food, and more.

- Welcome a student into your home as a family member for one or two semesters
