PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: WE offers host families the opportunity to learn about another culture. Families experience living with a young person who has learned to think and act in a different way. It is an opportunity for all to grow. Students come from 30 different countries. Families may choose a student from our total group of available students. Orientation and counseling are provided during the experience. World Experience is a volunteer network of people who believe that our children are our best hope for the world. Won't you join us and help make our world a better place.?
