Nonprofit organization seeks volunteers for high school exchange students

ASSE International, a nonprofit student exchange program, is seeking volunteers to serve as area representatives in Durango. ASSE offers qualified students from around the world, between the ages of 15 and 18, the opportunity to spend a high school year or semester in the United States with a host family. The opportunity to study abroad and live with a host family is also offered to American high school students between 15 and 18 years old.

Area representatives recruit and screen potential host families, supervise the exchange students in their community, organize activities with the students throughout the year and provide support to host families, students and schools. Area representatives receive compensation covering their expenses incurred for each student placed and supervised.
