Intercultural exchange thrives on a variety of perspectives and lived experiences. We are committed to recruiting and supporting students from all backgrounds, statuses, abilities, origins, and practices.

“I feel like I truly experienced what it means to be a part of something. The word ‘community’ felt so genuine and true during my homestay. I hope that I will be able to cultivate these types of relationships, the ones where you know that you can go into any house and find a home, back where I live.”
