Subject: Looking for Host Families for International Exchange Students

Hello Neighbors!

I have taken a part-time job with the company International Student Exchange (www.iseusa.com). ISE carefully screens and places H.S. students with host families in the U.S. They are currently looking for host families for students in the Chatham School District and Chapel Hill/Carrboro school district. The students come with their own spending money and health
insurance.  Host families simply provide room, board and a loving home. This is a great opportunity for you and your family to learn about another culture. They have students from all around the world: including China, Vietnam, Germany, parts of Scandinavia and Mexico. All types of families are welcome to host students including singles and couples.

If you are interested please contact:  Jennifer Leonard, Area Representative-ISE 919-357-9190 or

Here are a couple examples of the students that are looking for host families in our area.
