Edina MN, Oct. 31, 2013—Become a Host Family TODAY! 120 days can turn into an experience that lasts a lifetime! Edina Rotary Club and the Edina Morningside Rotary Club are looking for families that wish to expand their world and learn more about another culture while sharing their culture with a Rotary Youth Exchange student. The primary requirement is a willingness to open your heart and home to an exchange student and accept him or her as your own. Family makeup is less important than a desire to host. Families with or without kids, empty-nesters, single parents...it’s all a part of the experience! YOU ARE WHAT WE NEED!
The two Edina Rotary Clubs are hosting two international students this school year and we are looking for two additional families to open their hearts and homes and share our wonderful community with these kids. Each family has the opportunity to spend about three months with the student, increasing the students’ exposure to our rich and diverse culture via three different host families over the course of one school year. We are currently looking for two families to host one of our two students for the spring term. If this spring does not work for your family, consider hosting during the 2014-2015 school year!
