Aspect Foundation students hail from nearly 50 different countries, but all share the same dream – to experience the American way of life. Exchange students are aged 15 to 18, speak English, and have their own spending money and insurance. Volunteer host families will provide room, board, and a loving home environment for a semester or academic year. In return, host families and exchange students learn about another culture firsthand and gain a second family for life!

Host families can be married or single, with or without children, newly retired, or just starting out. Sharon Isbell, Aspect International Coordinator for the Southwest Arkansas area, can help you choose a student that matches your family's interests and help make the upcoming school year an unforgettable one full of lasting memories!
