Thanks for your
interest in becoming a student representative. This is a real opportunity for
you to make money by helping us place students with families.
ForeignExchangeStudent.com has been assisting students, host families and
representatives since 1998.
We get approximately
2000-2500 host family applications each year from all over
the world (75% from the United States and 25% international). When a potential
host family applies to the program, the ONLY way we can help them is if we
have a representative in that area. We have to turn down 40% of our host
family applicants for that reason alone.
This is where you come
in. Because we get applications from all over the planet via the internet, we
need reps all over. It doesn't matter if you live in New York City...Topeka,
Kansas...Athens, Greece or London, England. We will receive an application for
your area. And once that host family is approved in the program and the
student gets placed in your area, YOU get paid.
A brief description of
your responsibilities include, contacting potential host families to
determine their eligibility for becoming a host family, contacting high
schools in your host families school for the purpose of registering the
foreign student, overseeing the student/host family once the student is
placed.
For example, you live
in Phoenix, Arizona and we receive a host family application from that general
area. We forward their information to you. It would be your job to visit the
family at their home and determine if they would be an adequate host family
based on our specifications. You would also contact their references. Next you
would make sure the school district that host family lived in has an opening
for the exchange student (most school districts have 5-10 openings each year
for exchange students). Then you would help the host family choose the student
that will live with them for the next school year. And, finally you would be
the liaison between the school, host family and student. This would be the
basic procedure for every student placed in your area. All the necessary host
family, school district and student information forms will be provided to you for
you to accomplish this. And of course we're always available to help with any
questions or hints. We want you to succeed!
Of course, you will
want to get host families on your own too. The possibilities are endless;
through your local schools, churches, civic organizations, job and clubs. Any
responsible family is eligible to apply for the host program.
There is no cost for
you to sign up as a student rep. Some expenses that you will incur include gas
(driving to schools, host families, etc.), phone (possible long distance
charges if your student/host family lives in different area code), postage
(mailing applications to school district or host families) among others. All the costs you
incur will be tax deductible but you should consult a tax professional to determine those
that are.

this opportunity is for you, why not host a foreign exchange student first? Click

We have over 500+ students to place by next fall and need 25-50
additional student reps to assist us.
