Review for SHARE! High School Exchange Program, Santa Monica, CA, USA
My family. has been lucky enough to host 10 students thus far. Each experience has helped to shape us all into more understanding, empathetic people.I am grateful for the rewarding, lifelong relationships we have formed through hosting. I have also seen first hand the positive effects our students have had on our community and school. I have always felt supported and encouraged by the organization and it's employees. Our questions and concerns have always been addressed in a very timely manor. SHARE! has not only made hosting possible, but fun and easy. In a world lacking in both, SHARE! helps promote tolerance and cultural understanding, showing us all it really is a small world afterall!
Review for SHARE! High School Exchange Program, Santa Monica, CA, USA
Hosting foreign exchange students through SHARE! has been a very rewarding experience that has provided us with more memories and special moments than I can count! The kids are amazing and we gain far more than we give. I think one reason it has been such a positive experience is because SHARE! has given more support than we could have expected; making every phase and transition seamless. Questions, concerns, any potential issues have all been promptly addressed by our coordinator, Brenda; she has always been willing to help however needed and was full of helpful information and tips to keep the experience positive. The monthly contact helps to keep communication open between all involved and the fun activities and trips that the regional office planned gave our whole family opportunities we may not have had otherwise. I would recommend hosting to every family and am grateful for the irreplaceable experiences my family has had and the life long relationships we have built by hosting.
