| Welcome to Organization for Cultural Exchange Among Nations' Website! Organization for Cultural Exchange Among Nations is a non-profit organization which sponsors international exchange students, ages 15-18, and places them in volunteer host families and high schools throughout the U.S. for a semester or academic year. The purpose of our program is to promote international understanding, cultural awareness and academic excellence. Organization for Cultural Exchange Among Nations has been designated by the U.S. Department of State, and on the basis of materials submitted and reviewed, the Council on Standards for International Educational Travel (CSIET) has granted full listing to Organization for Cultural Exchange Among Nations in the 2012-2013 Advisory List. As a relatively small organization, we pride ourselves in the ability to carefully screen and select our students, as well as meet each and every one of them in person at our host country orientation. During this orientation, we thoroughly prepare the students and provide them with the information they will need to have a successful semester or year in the United States. While participating in the program, the students will experience political influences and cultural differences within the host community and at school through specific studies such as U.S. Government and U.S. History. In return, the host families and their community will learn about the student's home country and traditions, thereby promoting international understanding and friendship. |

| Host Families Needed for the 2012/2013 School Year! We are currently seeking host families for international exchange students, ages 15 - 18, who are scheduled to arrive in the U.S. in August of 2012. These students are from the countries of Brazil, China, Colombia, the Czech Republic, Germany, Italy, Kyrgyzstan, Mexico, Slovakia, Spain and the Ukraine. Host families come in all shapes and sizes, to include single parents and senior citizens, as well as married couples who are either with or without children. Students are fully insured, proficient in English and come with their own spending money to cover personal expenses. This is a wonderful opportunity for you and your family to learn about other countries and cultures without ever leaving your home! |
