ASSE International's Super Saturday Event Encourages Hosting Exchange Students For Cultural Exchange

Every academic year, ASSE International Exchange Students from various corners of the globe enhance local communities across the United States, creating a unique platform for cultural exchange right at your doorstep. Through word of mouth and local events, information spreads effectively, sparking interest in the enriching experience of hosting these students. ASSE International, a nonprofit organization dedicated to cultural exchange, is excited to announce its annual "ASSE Super Saturday Event" for 2024, aiming to boost nationwide awareness about the benefits of hosting a foreign exchange student.

Set for April 20, 2024, ASSE’s Super Saturday will see Area Representatives, State Coordinators, Host Families, and Exchange Students come together in their communities. They will set up booths at various local venues like festivals, farmer’s markets, and shopping malls to share the joys of global friendship through high school student exchange programs. This initiative not only promotes cultural understanding but also showcases the value of hosting an exchange student.

ASSE Exchange Students, aged between 15 to 18 years, are selected for their academic prowess and personalities. Host families are given the chance to choose a student from a wide array of backgrounds, ensuring a match that complements their family dynamics. These students come fully prepared with their own spending money and comprehensive insurance coverage.

Hosting an ASSE Exchange Student offers families from all walks of life - whether young families, retirees, single parents, or empty nesters - a unique opportunity to extend their familial bonds globally without leaving the comfort of their home. Participating countries include France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Ukraine, Denmark, Thailand among others, providing a rich diversity of cultures and perspectives.

For those interested in becoming a host family or learning more about the ASSE Super Saturday Events in their area, contacting Saphia Lesch at (800) 736‐1760 or visiting www.host.asse.com is encouraged. By welcoming a young person from another country into your home, you play a crucial role in ASSE's global mission to foster peace, kindness, and mutual understanding between the people of the United States and those from other nations.

ASSE invites you to take the first step in this rewarding journey by considering to welcome a new son or daughter into your family today. This initiative not only enriches your family's life but also contributes significantly to building bridges of understanding across cultures.
