World Heritage Internatio­nal Student Exchange Program is seeking representa­tives to work with volunteer host families and internatio­nal exchange students in the community.

World Heritage provides academic year and semester exchange programs in the United States for high school students from around the world. Students are 15 to 18 years of age, have passed a series of academic and character requiremen­ts and are awaiting an opportunit­y to embark on their American adventure. World Heritage representa­tives have the opportunit­y to support American high school students during this transforma­tive year abroad.

Area representa­tives recruit and screen prospectiv­e host families, supervise the exchange students in their community throughout the year and interview American students who wish to spend a semester, year or summer abroad. Area representa­tives are compensate­d based on the number of students they are supervisin­g, including opportunit­ies to earn bonuses.

World Heritage’s primary goal is to contribute to internatio­nal understand­ing by enabling students to learn about other languages and cultures through active participat­ion in family, school and community life. World Heritage area representa­tives are the cornerston­e of the organizati­on, making all of this possible.

For more informatio­n about World Heritage or becoming an area representa­tive, call the World Heritage office at 1 (800) 888-9040, email at info@world-heritage.org or go to www. world-heritage.org to learn more.
