Families needed to host students

The Council on International Educational Exchange, a nonprofit organization, is accepting applications for host families in the Top of Utah for students who will arrive in August.

Families host for a variety reasons, according to a news release, including to learn about a new culture, volunteer hours for themselves and their children, and make future travel connections.

Hosts can receive a tax deduction while the student is in the host home.

International students participating in the exchange are between 15 years and 18 years old and have studied English for a minimum of three years.

They have their own medical insurance and spending money, and have undergone a thorough personal screening and interview process, according to the news release.

Call Danika Amott at 801-200-89-22 or go to www.ciee.org/highschool for more information.
