EXCHANGE PROGRAM SEEKS HOST FAMILIES

The American International Youth Student Exchange Program (AIYSEP) is seeking host families for students from high schools in Europe and other foreign countries for 4-6 weeks in the summer and for the 1994-95 academic year. All families may deduct $50 per month from their income tax returns.

Sixteen- and 17-year-old high school students will arrive late in August and stay through late June. The students are all fluent in English, have been screened by school counselors in their home countries and will have medical insurance and spending money.

Also, American students, ages 15-19, who would like to participate in an exchange program are encouraged to contact the exchange program. Students will be screened by counselors and must have evidence of maturity, superior character and knowledge of English and a foreign language.

For information, contact the AIYSEP international headquarters, office of the director, 200 Round Hill Road, Tiburon, Calif. 94920 or call 415-499-7669 or 800-347-7575.
