Host Family Opportunity

Posted

Three young ladies from Finland, France, and Austria are waiting for the call. As Part of the Massachusetts Lions Youth Camps and Exchange Program (YCE) run by Lions Clubs International for 60 years, we are hosting 18 students from other countries this summer. You ask why do we do this? Well, besides the fact that it's one of the most rewarding experiences of our lives, it is done for them to be exposed to other cultures, and have the hosts/camp organizers, and other students themselves be exposed to the student's culture.

Three 17-year-old girls are still seeking a host family in the Massachusetts and Rhode Island area.
If you, or anyone you know, may be interested in hosting one or two of these visiting girls or would like more information please reach out to me as I am the chair of the Massachusetts Lions Youth Camp this year Additionally, my family will be hosting two 17-year-old boys in North Attleboro as part of this program. We will help you!

All of the students speak English. The girls will arrive on Thursday, July 11, and will stay with their host family until Saturday, July 20. The Youth Exchange Camp runs from July 20 - 27.
Consider opening your home to these young ladies and exposing them to the diversity of our culture.

Questions. I CAN ANSWER THEM! Please let me know.
