Hello, and thank you for your interest in hosting an international student through the Global Outreach program. By opening your heart and home, you will give an exceptional young person an experience of a lifetime – to live with an American family and experience the language, customs, culture and faith life of our country.  (Barbara and the Ehlers Family from Appleton, with their Hungarian Son Gergely.) Global Outreach is a unique exchange program that links America with East-Central Europe. We invite American families to participate in the mission of our program to build a civilization of love by inviting into their homes high school students from post communist European countries. This is a way to spread love, peace and unity among the nations. This is a great opportunity to learn about other cultures, customs and faith of people who live in different parts of the world. This is also a wonderful opportunity to share with young people from Europe, experiences of American freedom, tolerance and openness to other, sometimes very different, people. Global Outreach invites highly qualified students, primarily from Catholic secondary schools, to spend an academic year in the U.S. Catholic high schools. The host schools graciously provide tuition. As a host family, your responsibilities would include providing room and board for your student, accepting him/her as a member of your family (not a guest) by including him/her in your daily life and routines, and supporting him/her in achieving the objectives of the Global Outreach program. GO is, by design, a small program so that careful attention can be given to students and host families. Throughout the year, Global Outreach staff will be in regular contact with you and your student to provide any support either or both of you might need. We are always here for you. I look forward to hearing from you and your family. Barbara Tota-Boryczka Documents from the last year: |
