PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: ANDEO (formerly International Summerstays) seeks to promote international friendships and understanding through hosting programs. We offer short term stays so that the families have the opportunity to host without a major time commitment. Longer term (3+months) college programs are also available in the Portland area. Students and families are “matched”, taking into consideration interests, activities and requests. During some programs, students attend daytime classes or do volunteer work. Host family orientations are held prior to the students’ arrival, and bilingual chaperones and local staff are available at all times as a support network.
