Council for Educational Travel, USA is seeking volunteer host families in Laughlin, Needles and communities throughout Arizona to open doors to their homes, their communities and their hearts for international high school exchange students. Students from Europe, South America, and Asia are now being placed in volunteer host families for the 2016-17 academic year.

International exchange students who have a good experience while in the country become friends of the United States. “That’s the goal of the J-1 Visa Program,” said Sharon Peters, Council for Education Travel manager.
