Host Families for French Students Needed

Twenty-five French teens from professional French families (ages 14-18) will be coming to the Atlanta area from July 9-29 and retired Cobb County French teacher Linda Farmer is looking for host families who will show their student warmth and hospitality.  

These French teens from Paris to Provence to Alsace want to experience American life firsthand and be totally immersed in the English language. Farmer, along with a French chaperon, will oversee the program. "This is a wonderful opportunity,” says Farmer, who taught at Lassiter High School, “for Atlanta-area families to add an international dimension to their lives."
 
LEC (Loisirs Culturels à l'étranger), the Paris-based sponsor, provides these students with comprehensive medical insurance and gives host families compensation for room and board. All come with ample spending money for expenses outside of the home and each has had three to six years of English depending on age.  An excursion bus will take the French teens on sightseeing trips once per week while they are here. No French language skills are needed!
