by | Jul 13, 2012

The World Affairs Council is looking for host families for student leaders from around the world. The groups come from Mexico, Iraq, Zambia, and several Middle Eastern and North African countries. They’re hoping that neighbors will host several visitors together on the same street.
Here are the dates that host families are needed:
