Each year Aspect Foundation gives high school students from more than 50 countries the chance of a lifetime--to live with a volunteer American host family for a semester or academic year. International student exchange is an exciting, rewarding field, and Aspect Foundation has been a leader in the field for 25 years.
As an International Coordinator you will introduce Aspect Foundation to your local high schools. You'll talk with friends and neighbors, and work with local civic groups, religious organizations, and media to find volunteer host families. You will also become close friends with your international students and host families throughout the school year.
This is a part-time commissioned position and can represent a good supplemental source of income for teachers, youth directors, school volunteers, and other active community members. International Coordinators are financially compensated up to $850 for placing and supervising each 10-month student and $550 for each semester student. There are many bonuses and incentive trips as well.
The amount of time that you devote to the student exchange program is up to you. Most International Coordinators hold full-time jobs and have families in addition to their work with youth exchange. Many International Coordinators find host families for approximately three to six students, and devote a small amount of time to supporting those students. Some International Coordinators find homes for 15+ students and enjoy spending a great deal of time with their students and families. This is entirely up to you. Our most successful Coordinators have been with Aspect Foundation for many years, and have made lifelong friendships both at home and abroad. They continue to grow professionally and personally as they learn about the fascinating aspects of world cultures, including our own.
If you are passionate about youth, cultural understanding, and world peace we would like to hear from you!
To apply or for more information please visit our website at http://www.aspectfoundation.org/ex_run/run_exchange.html
Please note: You must be at least 25 years of age and be able to commit to supervising students for the 9/10-6/11 school year for this position. (Cannot have plans to move out of the area.)
