Edina Rotary Clubs are looking for Host Families for 2022-23 School YearBecome a Host Family TODAY!! Just a few months can turn into an experience that lasts a lifetime! Edina’s Rotary Clubs are looking for families that wish to expand their world and learn more about another culture while sharing their culture with a Rotary 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!!
