<p>Each year thousands of American families volunteer as host families. Their decision to
host a foreign student may be based on a variety of family interests: the urge to learn
more about the world, the desire to give a student from abroad a chance to experience life
in the USA, or the reward that comes from knowing they can contribute to a young person's
growth and development. All host families have concerns about hosting and it is here that
we will address the most frequently asked questions:
<ul>
<li><font color="#C00320">We're going on vacation</font><font color="#FF0000">.</font> Our <font
face="BD Negative" color="#C00320">LEC</font><font face="BD Negative" color="#FF0000"> </font>student
can travel with their host family on vacation. Just inform us of your plans.</li>
<li><font color="#C00320">I don't have any children at home.</font> As long as you can
introduce the French teen to some American teens there isn't a problem. (Church youth
groups, neighbors, nieces/nephews are just a few of the ways to accomplish this)</li>
<li><font color="#C00320">We don't speak French.</font><font color="#FF0000"> </font>Terrific!
<font face="BD Negative" color="#C00320">LEC</font><font face="BD Negative"
color="#FF0000"> </font>students all speak English and they want to improve their speaking
skills while they are here.</li>
<li><font color="#C00320">We don't have an extra bedroom.</font> The <font
face="BD Negative" color="#C00320">LEC</font><font face="BD Negative" color="#FF0000"> </font>student
can share a bedroom with a family member of the same sex and approximate same age.</li>
<li><font color="#C00320">We seldom go anywhere</font><font color="#FF0000">.</font> The
host family does not have to act as "tour guide" while the <font
face="BD Negative" color="#C00320">LEC</font><font face="BD Negative" color="#FF0000"> </font>student
visits. The students are here to learn about our everyday life.</li>
<li><font color="#C00320">What if our student needs medical attention? <font
face="BD Negative">LEC</font></font> provides complete medical and dental insurance for
the students. You can take the <font face="BD Negative" color="#C00320">LEC</font> student
to your family doctor or area hospital for treatment.</li>
<li><font color="#C00320">If there are problems, what should we do? <font
face="BD Negative">LEC</font> </font>provides a very extensive support system for the host
family. Your local <font face="BD Negative" color="#C00320">LEC</font> coordinator would
be your main contact. Other contacts would be your General Coordinator, National
Coordinator and the student's adult chaperone. If there is a problem we all work together
to resolve it to everyone's satisfaction.</li>

families provide room and board along with friendship and understanding.</li>
