Job Description

Host an International Exchange Student

Short-Term (2 Weeks) & Long-Term (Semester or Year)

Location: Greater Chicagoland area

Organization: Greenheart Exchange

Open your home. Change a life. Experience the world—without leaving your community.

Greenheart Exchange is seeking host families to welcome international high school students into their homes through two meaningful opportunities:

2-Week Chinese Student Experience (Short-Term)

This summer, local families are needed to host Chinese high school students for a two-week cultural exchange . Students attend structured activities and programming during the day, and host families provide:

  • A safe, welcoming home
  • Meals and a place to sleep
  • Everyday cultural exposure (family time, errands, simple outings)

This is a great option for families who want to try hosting without a long-term commitment.

Semester & Academic-Year Exchange Students

We also place students from around the world who attend local high schools for a semester or full academic year while living with a host family. These students are carefully screened, insured, and supported throughout their stay.

Host families:

  • Provide a bed, 3 meals a day, a place to study
  • Receive ongoing support from a local coordinator
  • Gain a meaningful cultural exchange experience and lifelong connections

Families of all shapes and sizes are encouraged to apply—single parents, couples, retirees, and families with or without children at home.

Hosting is a powerful way to make a difference, promote cultural understanding, and bring global perspectives into your home.

Interested in learning more?

Reach out today to see which hosting option might be right for your family.
