Host families are sought for student exchange programs ASSE International Student Exchange Programs (ASSE) is seeking local host families for boys and girls from a variety of countries around the world. These students are 15 to 18 years of age and are coming to this area for the upcoming high school year or semester. These students have good English, are bright, curious and anxious to learn about the USA by living as part of your family, attending high school and sharing their own cul- ture and language with you. The exchange students arrive from their home country shortly before school begins and return at the end of the school year or semes- ter. Each ASSE student is fully in- sured, brings his or her own person- al spending money and expects to bear his or her share of household responsibilities, as well as being in- cluded in normal family activities and lifestyles. To become a host family or find out more about ASSE and its pro- grams, call Sue 1-732-251-1517 or 1- 800-677-2773.
