CONFIDENTIAL HOST FAMILY PRE-APPLICATION

Let your local representative help you find that special son or daughter that you have selected for your family. Your local representative will check our new student applications as they are processed to fine a special student that meets your family’s Interests and Lifestyle, on a first come first serve basis. Your local representative will be notified as matches are found. Your student match will be available to you for 3 days before being offered to other families. By completing and submitting this form, you are starting your intention to host an exchange student selected by you from one matched to your family. The SEA program members will support you, your family and your school throughout your experience.

The SEA member programs believe, together, we can make a difference.

IMPORTANT: This is the most important form needed to complete in order to find the good match for your FAMILY!
With this completed preliminary application, your local Representative will work to find a student that will match with your interests and lifestyle. They will then present you with profiles of students that you may like to have as your son or daughter.

NO PLACEMENT IS MADE UNTIL YOU SELECT YOUR STUDENT. The best experience in HOSTING will result in this way of selecting a student. Please use the experience of your local Representative in your selection process.
