Meet our Fall ’22 students
Meet our Fall students!
Let us know which of the students is the right fit for you!
Hosting is your chance to change the world for the better!
Our purpose at BFF is to promote world peace through cultivating opportunities for cultural and educational exchanges. These exchanges allow people to learn more about each other’s core values. We bring the international traveler and the host family together to create meaningful relationships through which we celebrate our differences and similarities.
High school spots are extremely limited, your chance may be gone as early as March 1. Don’t delay!
Please note that not everyone here may be available. Pick 2-3 possibilities and let your Community Advisor know who may best fit with your family!
