Welcome a student from Bosnia and Herzegovina into your home
January 14, 2009
Greetings, Salem, OR, area families!
I hope you will host a student during their stay here. The bright youth leaders chosen for participation in this program are fluent in English, and eager to share in a cultural exchange with your family. Your commitment of transportation, meals and time will be rewarded with a rare opportunity to trade worldviews, experiences and stories.
As a bonus, you are giving a young leader the opportunity of a lifetime. With your help, the students will attend the Civic Education and Leadership Institute at Willamette University, where they will expand their understanding of democratic processes, and build appreciation of various beliefs and cultures through community service projects, hands-on learning with Willamette Academy students, cultural outings, and participation in engaging debates.
Students will begin their stay in Salem on April 5, 2009 and depart on April 28 (tentatively).
Read more about the program, get information on hosting, and then apply!
Thanks,
Crystal Jeffers
