Share your home with a Chinese exchange student for two weeks this summer.
For the past four years, Auburn families have been hosting a group of Chinese exchange students through Compass USA.
The students participate in an academic/ESL program during the day at Grace community Church
“(It’s) a great opportunity to experience a different culture and open your home and hearts to a foreign student while introducing them to our lifestyle and culture,” said Jen Olson, youth program coordinator for Compass USA. “Families will receive a stipend and a great experience.”
Compass USA was founded in 1999 by a group of experienced homestay colleagues to provide educational opportunities for youth and adults in the United States. It is dedicated to the principle that living inside an international culture is the key in the journey to achieve international understanding.
