Yolanda Velasquez of Naperville, IL has been appointed as an International Exchange Coordinator for the region by EF (Education First) &ndash; High School Exchange Year.
Headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, EF HSEY is a non-profit foreign exchange organization designated by the U.S. Department of State. The Council on Standards for International Educational Travel (CSIET) grants full listing to EF Foundation in the 2023-2024 Advisory List. This program is committed to the concept of exploring the &ldquo;Global Classroom,&rdquo; bringing international exchange students between the ages of 15 and 18 to the United States on a J-1 Exchange Visitor visa for a half year or full year, academic and home-stay experience. EF HSEY was established in 1979 and is one of the largest and most experienced foreign exchange organizations nationwide. Yolanda was selected to represent EF-HSEY as a local exchange coordinator due to her interest in foreign cultures and her enthusiasm and desire to become more active in the community.
Yolanda is currently interviewing families in this area interested in sharing their lives with a young person from another country for the upcoming academic year.
EF students come from 13 different countries including Europe and parts of Asia. All our students are interviewed and prepared for their year abroad by EF staff in those countries. They all come with their own insurance coverage and their own spending money. Host families are asked to provide three meals a day, a bed, and a warm, supportive environment for the student to become part of their family. Local support is provided to the student and family by Yolanda as the local coordinator.
We are looking for families who are interested in the world and would like to help an exchange student learn firsthand about America.
Anyone interested in learning more about hosting can contact Yolanda by email at <a href="mailto:yolanda.velasquez@efexchangeyear.org" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">yolanda.velasquez@efexchangeyear.org</a> or scan the QR code.&nbsp;
