Cultural Academic Student Exchange Program (CASE) is a non-profit organization facilitating 10 month academic/cultural homestays for August 2024 incoming high school exchange students.
Established in 1988, CASE is a designated sponsor of academic year J-1 exchange visitors through the US State Department.
To help us reach our goal of bringing CASE to Alabama, we're searching for a well-connected stay-at-home parent.
Teacher, or someone well respected in his/her community, to work with us in finding local American host families for our well-screened incoming students, and providing after arrival cultural support.
It is a truly fun and rewarding role that involves 3-5 hours weekly of community involvement.
Our host families are required to be volunteer, however the student provides his/her own personal spending money, full medical insurance, and is ready to become a participating member of their new American host family – pitching in on everything from family discussions to sharing household chores.
The student will attend the nearest public high school to the hosts, has his/her own spending money, and speaks English at a participatory level.
*Your Responsibilities:*
* Willingness to engage your community members in conversations about the benefits of hosting an international exchange student
* Finding local host families, maintaining ongoing contact with schools, hosting families and exchange students

* Record monthly host/student contact in CASE's online database (every other month in-person)
*Travel Incentive*
The CASE Program believes that cross-cultural experiences are essential to greater understanding, personal development, and exchange program success.
To honor this commitment, we reward our Area Representatives with an *expense-paid trip* to an exciting international location each year.
This trip, based on 8 qualified host family placements, focuses on building relationships across our remote US field teams, and providing culturally enriching international experiences for our representatives.
Past trip destinations include Ireland, Scotland, Argentina, Germany, Spain, England, Amsterdam, and more!
