WHAT IS HOSTING?

Bring the world into your home, family and community by hosting an international
high school exchange student. By hosting a student for a few weeks or an
academic year, you’ll share cultures and form bonds that last a lifetime.

These extraordinary young people from countries all over the world receive a
highly competitive, merit-based scholarship from the U.S. Department of State to
attend local high schools and live with families in urban, rural, and suburban
communities in all 50 states. These exchange students participate in the
Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange (CBYX), Future Leaders Exchange (FLEX), and
Youth Exchange and Study (YES) Programs.

Once selected, students are expected to maintain a high level of academic
performance, learn about American history and society, and to participate in
community service. Volunteer host families support exchange students by
providing a comfortable, nurturing home, nutritious meals and transportation to
and from school activities.


HOW DO I START THE PROCESS?

To get started as a host family or school, please complete the interest form
below and a local coordinator in your area will reach out to you with more
information.

BECOME A MEDALLION MEMBER SCHOOL



Each year, almost 2,000 extraordinary young people from around the world receive
a highly competitive U.S. Department of State-sponsored scholarship to live with
host families and attend high school in the United States. These future leaders
participate in the Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange (CBYX), Future Leaders
Exchange (FLEX), and Youth Exchange and Study (YES) programs. Host schools help
build diplomatic bridges with other nations by leaving positive, lasting
impressions of the United States on their exchange students.

By enrolling a U.S. Department of State-sponsored exchange student, high schools
become Medallion Member Schools. These schools set themselves apart by
demonstrating a commitment to academic and cultural enrichment for their
students through international exchange. Medallion Member Schools may pair the
official medallion with their school name and advertise on banners, newsletters,
websites, signage, clothing designs, and more.

The world is increasingly interconnected. By participating in the Medallion
Program, you can prepare your students to become global citizens. Exchange
students introduce your students to another culture and increase their
international awareness without requiring them to travel. CBYX, FLEX and YES
students also positively impact your school through sharing their countries and
cultures, engaging in extracurricular activities, and volunteering in their
communities.

To access the official medallion, please contact your local placement
organization.
