For BridgeUSA Hosts
Bringing an international student into your home, your school, and your community is a profound educational opportunity for all involved. Not only does it promote international awareness, but also cultural exchange. It is that exchange – trading stories, sharing viewpoints, seeing new ways of life – that fosters mutual understanding and respect between people, cultures, and countries. This is the foundation upon which an interconnected world is built.
Be a part of that journey. Host a student. Let the adventure begin.
