Ayusa International, a 30-year old non-profit organization that promotes global learning and leadership through cultural exchange, study abroad and leadership programs for high school students, is looking for Texas families to host an international high school student for the 2012-2013 school year.

According to the Council on Standards for International Educational Travel (CSIET), Texas families host more international students than any other state except for Michigan.

Texas communities and surrounding areas have high school availability for foreign exchange students – but still need local families to host the students. Interested applicants in these communities and surrounding areas should visit www.ayusa.org or call 1-888-552-9872.
