Waubun-Ogema-White Earth Community!
We are in need of some amazing local families to open up their home to international exchange students arriving in August! The students will attend Waubun High School for the school year.
Host families come in all shapes and sizes; retired, single parents, couples with or without children of any age, etc. Truly, no family is too big or too small. A host simply puts another plate on the table and welcomes the student as one of their own!
If you or anyone you know might be interested in the opportunity, please email r.lotvolaciee@gmail.com for more details or start a host family application at ciee.org/host. I look forward to helping find a student that is the perfect fit for your family!
