Mission: To create a global neighborhood by forging the links that sow the seeds for world peace and understanding. To bring foreign students to the united states for a cultural exchange for periods of one week to one year.
Programs: Peoplelink brings students from japan, china and canada and places them in homes in the us and canada for short 3-4 week and 10 month long cultural exchange programs. The student lives with a host family while attending high school in the us or canada. Educational homestay programs are designed to allow the foreign student and the host family to learn and share their language and culture with each other over an extended period of time. These programs include english classes, full day trips and cultural activities. Although most participants are junior high through university aged, they are accepted from elementary school age to senior citizens. Peoplelink also sends a group of young people, aged 14-25, to japan each year.
