A nonprofit exchange program is inviting Cook County families to host international exchange students for the 2010-2011 school year. The teenage students come from over 30 countries and attend local high schools. The students have their own spending money and insurance. Host families are responsible for meals, a place to sleep and a nurturing environment. STS Foundation has a local coordinator who will supervise the students and support the family throughout the school year.

Students coming to Minnesota are from Norway, Germany, Italy and Finland.
