PURPOSE: To exchange high school teenagers, who may be potential leaders in their countries as adults, between the United States and her neighbors in the Western Hemisphere, for either one school year, one semester or one quarter.
GOAL: To gain cultural understanding and bilingual fluency through a family living experience, while attending high school full-time. It is also hoped that this experience would begin an endless flow of two-way exchanges of many different family members, bonding the two families together as one--even for generations to come.
